Aug 2016
Kite
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 canβt 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
