Once I Felt Like a Sky Hungry Kite

Once I Felt Like a Sky Hungry Kite

 

I still don’t know how

   I feel today ..

But I do know, I once

felt like a magnificent,

   sky hungry kite ..

 

That is, until you chose

to eclipse me

and then your shadow

blocked out,

   

every ounce of my light ..

 

Now I stumble around in

the darkness

feeling my way forward

a bit at a time

   

searching for morsels to eat ..

 

But I doubt very much like

the phoenix,

either resurrection, rebirth

or revival will

   

remain on the menu all week ..

I remember feeling like I soared once, but now I only fly in the same way a daddy longlegs flies, by jumping up and down and bouncing about a bit, shouting "almost got it" as gravity beats me once again.
Sometimes those dark corners are best, and some of them has good eatings in them too! 😃

The extinguishing of light is a burden to have to deal with. The shadowlands not a place I like to dwell in. This poem is beautifully visual Neville, though heavy on the emotions. On a much lighter note, the red kites round my way are thriving and two of them circle above my garden and swoop down on to the flat garage roof for the bread and bits I put out for the smaller birds. Their agility is incredible as is their speed. You can often hear their distinct call before you see them. Late to visit this one. Have a happy Sunday Neville with your family. Hope you are all doing something nice.

The poor kite being shadowed and made to feel less than what it is. This makes me feel sad and a sense of loss of being a priority or valued. Great comparison
