I lift skyward skyward holding hard into a waning breeze and in the rising hope hope with no assurance that of all times this time even this one desperate time I am a bird not a kite |

I love this, my friend... You've captured so many feelings in these few words... Your pen soars with the fear/longing/anticipation of freedom... too much soul here to be inanimate kite. *S* |

sweet…piped piper how could I have known I was a bird with a wing too long connected to the pull of the string the life I have known is that of a kite tender hands now touch teaching wind different flight one good turn deserves another... |

hope with no assurance that of all times this time Oh darn, you just had to go there and take a nose dive into the depths of my mind. This time? I hope so too! A kite only fly's when it catches the wind, but a bird knows just how far it can go. So nice Ed~ |

even this one desperate time I am a bird not a kite Ed, my friend, with your wings spread as a magnificent eagle, how could you ever be mistaken for a kite? Your Spirit soars, Ed.  Hugs to you Ethel |

Ed...Thoughtful write.To imagine for just a moment that we can fly free if only in our minds is wonderful. Thanks for sharing the wind with us on your flight of freedom...Paul "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" |
