Hanging in the air
Leaning into the wind
Motionless
Still

Waiting
Watching
Looking down
For movement

A strike

And then
Nothing

Ascend
Arise
Find a place
To take the winds
And float alone

Waiting
Watching

I take my walk
In silence
Occasional melodies
Repeating in my head

I have walked these paths before
But I am older
Less expectant

Yet somehow
Still restless
Wanting more
From myself

Though uncertain
How to respond

Kite
You know what to do
You fail many times
Before you succeed
Yet with each failure
You climb higher

Even though my mind can’t locate
A way forward
The walk does something to me

Maybe I have to leave my problems
For them to become resolved
Perhaps my interference with them
Is the problem?

Noble pathway
Show me
That small diversions
Are but earthly

Success will come
But first
I must fail
Fail
And fail again
