would you rather not be a kite? to be smothered by delight for many happy moments and be taught the trick to be airborne the next? soaring high and far into the crystal clear sky when a surge of wind is all that it takes to carry you away to those majestic heights of awesome inspire and when your flight ends like all beautiful dreams you are cut loose, free to flutter free to float and you may drift, yet not without direction for you would be in that slow vertical descend yet with your own latitude gliding, teasing the wind - however merciless he be -- one who believes that he can toss you around furiously! and then you may drift until finally, you touch down, into the waiting arms of a tree . . . would you rather not be that kite? . . . and then there will always be that brave young boy wearing a 'No Fear' T-shirt who would climb up the tree to get you back from the grip of the tree and then the boy will carry you home while you are resting like a baby in sweet repose, to dream another dream, in his endearing arms of love whistling a lullaby from between his lips! a music of what is pure joy would you rather not be that kite? who gets to fly high into the sky, yet is quite connected to the most caring arms imaginable I think I would now, its your turn to Think! ------ firstly, thanks for coming by. this is in fact nothing-inspired... I was disturbed by something at work and screamed in my head... "Yikes!!! I want to be a kite and fly away from here!!!" and scribbling this one furiously ...  Regards to all of you, sudhir |

Sudhir~ In my most stressful moments ... I retreat to the meadow-of-my-mind and fly kites~ The magic pull-of-the-wind on my strings-of-stress lifts me to a level of calm serenity, until I am able to touch down ... hopefully~ 'then you may drift until finally, you touch down, into the waiting arms' Oh ... my friend, I sooooo understand this one~ Thanks for sharing it with me~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

BRAVO!!!! But it is an inspired poem, Sadhir, for is not the vision and feel of it perfect. Very well done. Somedays I too wish I could fly away with the freedom of a kite but I usually have myself flying on dragon's back. **hugs**   Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Very nice poem, but I think I’d rather be a bird than a kite. No strings, no binding, and able to fly over the trees without getting tangled. It’s been a long time since I flew a kite, thanks for the refreshing of memories. Bill |

Thank you so much, my dear friend, Marge... Hugs to you too Startime, thanks so very much for your kind words... hugs to you Bill, Welcome to Passions... yes, a bird, that is also great... but remember a bird is also bound by its nest, and nestlings... birds can fly into the sky, but they also return home to warmth ... it is almost the same feeling, I think... thank you so much for coming by... Regards to all, Sudhir |

 (sigh) Oh my gosh, this had me dreaming, it's sooooooo whimsically beautiful! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, I too wish I could soar free in my dreams and embrace the heavens and repose gently on Eden's grass. (sigh) Your lovely words always paint harmony and angelic music, I love it!!! (kiss on cheek) How wonderful it would be if I could be a butterfly and fliiter across Mother Nature's paradise! We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sudhir, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
