Why doesn't the kite fly the same way it used to?
Why has the wind changed its direction?
Why am I muscling to keep it afloat,
Whereas yesterday the wind was doing it for me?
No longer do the colours flash in the background of
Sun playing hide and seek with strange shaped clouds.
It's a plain white kite moving lazily across the horizon
Trying to cut clear of the antennas and tree tops.
Waiting for a gust of wind to get it into its elements again
The kite stays afloat with the candle of hope burning
I look across the expansive sky and spot a movement in the cloud
Is it the old breeze blowing up or just an illusion?
