CLEARED FOR DEPARTURE

July 6, 2014

Kites
In the sky
More sound than seen
Fluttering wordlessly, yet
Constantly like breath above me
As wind offers to keep aloft
These colorful shapes
Their tails wagging behind
Long train of color
Only one black and white
A thunderbird with a tail
As long as the sky
Above my head
Above all of our heads
In a vastness
So blue it calls me
Upward
Space for me and white marks of clouds
Symbols of an ancientness
Sky and earth
In-between we rest
In what we see
And hear
And are
