The Key and The Kite

under a cloud
of thick and thin
that I own
as my own sin
school of life
had taught me
lessons well
but was deaf
dumb and blind
now I excel
took me time
for knowledge
to take effect
I now grasp
the subject
we connect
thought others
held strings
in it’s flight
it is I alone
with true right
to write
and erase
on this slate
and if
I so choose
can change
my fate

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare

And on that breeze
you can fly
but for lightning
keep an eye . . .

Dear Ms. Slick One - This was really neat - I love the way I had to pay attention to the rhythm, the way the thread enticed me and then held me. The finishing lines are absolutely superb.
