Kite String Heart

A simple piece that popped into my head one afternoon...

Kite String Heart

The kite at the top is my being,
full of rich colors worth knowing and seeing.

The kite at the top is pushed and tugged at
by the winds of life, rising and falling with my many feelings.

Attached to the kite is the kite string, my heart,
that controls how high the kite can fly.

I let it out as my happiness grows,
but reel it swiftly back in my sorrows.

Joyfully I race with the kite,
running to raise it as high as it will go.

And yet, the kite falls from the breeze,
catching on a fence.

And the kite string, my heart,
is broken.

"Do not worry," cries a voice deep within,
"I will tie you back together."

Then He picks up the kite and reunites it with
the kite string, making it stronger and more interesting
than before.

"You are always beautiful to Me,"
reassures the voice.

"I will be with you forever."
