Rain falls gently <br />in my mind <br /> <br />memory <br />a kite <br /> <br />running madly <br />about a sky <br /> <br />longing to be <br />free <br /> <br />the tug of the line <br />a heartbeat <br /> <br />your hand <br />on mine <br /> <br />fingernails clutching <br />drawing blood <br /> <br />as the kite <br />broke free <br /> <br />escaping our <br />control <br /> <br />us crying….laughing <br /> <br />”Run...run! ” <br />we shouted to it <br /> <br />as sensing <br />a change in the wind <br /> <br />it headed out <br />for France.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rain-falls-gently/
