Kites

Kissing the sun in a clear blue sky
Was an experience unmatched, I thought
Riding the wings of a flying bird
And the euphoric sense it brought

High and mighty, I covered miles
Bathing in the scoffing rains
Jittery wind hummed victory songs
As I crisscrossed the celestial lanes

The world below seemed so measly
As I ruffled my feathers of pride
Flying high on the wave of success
Forgot to take the string in stride

A forceful surge is all it took
For the string to tremble and break
Nosediving to kiss the earthen lips
I resembled a shambling wreck

High of highs and thrill of peak
At best last some days and nights
But to sail in air and avoid a fall
We need to learn from Kites
