Kite Poem by Arvie Calimlim

Alone, wandering
No certainties
Just placing a foot
In front of the other

Woke up with a strange feeling
Thought I needed to be alone
The streets were still dark
Guess it’s still long before dawn

I walked against the cool breeze
Staring into the thin air
Didn’t really notice
I was going somewhere

I stopped and sat down
I wonder what I’m feeling
There’s something I want
Something I am longing

My heart unexpectedly jumped
My thoughts filled with bliss
My blood running energized
My face warmed with the sun’s kiss

I felt the warmth of the early sun
I saw the beauty of the site
I found myself under the tree
The tree where we made our kite

A heart filled with memories
Made strong with a love so true
Though at times it really needed
To take a look back at you
