THE KITE

THE KITE I soared in the windRose above the treesI could go farther and furtherInto space, to the stars and the sunBut the cord won’t let me goIt was only a wish, I am bound to itWith a little boy at the endThe boy understood my desiresHelpless, he let go the stringBut that which I thoughtTied me down, was in truthHolding me up
