To Fly A Kite Poem by Ananta Madhavan

To Fly A Kite



Thought is a kite that will not soar.

Pull taut the string.
Run, run, to give it lift and take off.
Pay out and stretch, steer,
Let it float and find a drift,
A wafting breath.

Let it soar or dip and dive,
Dither in the sky or zoom
To its own air space and live
Or come again to earth.
