With my arms held out and my mind clear, <br />I grip the little black string, <br />Holding on to it tight, surely not to let it go, <br />The wind blows and it sways.... slowly moving from side to side, <br />And as my pace fastens, <br />I can feel the Earth moving underneath my feet, <br />Everything stops, <br />Like time had been paused just for me, <br />So hat I could endure this moment of freedom, <br />And make it last forever, <br />We're like dancers, the kite and I, <br />Moving to the same music, dancing at the same speed, <br />the kite is flying in the sky, and down on Earth I am smiling, <br />The sun is shining down on both the kite and me, <br />And just for a tiny moment I can feel how it feels to be.... free,<br /><br />niakeva thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kite-runner/
