High Expectations

Thick spreading darkness;
The sun rarely shines through….
But I spied, on a dim gray horizon,
Flying at play, high above rooftops,
a solitary silvered kite,
caught by heaven’s eventide rays…
Glittering, dancing
high and low in shining ecstasy,
long rainbow streamers flowing
more beautiful than any bird in flight….
Diving and looping
againstthe sunset brushed sky,
courting silver lined clouds…
Such joyin being free
in mindless elation,
soaring to heights,
that I endeavor to achieve
in dreams and visions.
And lifting me also,
I abandoned all former
self imposed restraints
to sail freely,
dancing on high above housetops
as the last passionate glint of the sun
promises tomorrow to the moon


Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa

Such beautiful words written by somebody so smart. Forgive my spelling.

Cold hands means a warm heart

I think these two lines say it all...
