Abstract kites in the solid sky


























thoughts are kites
tied to my being here---
 numerous, abstract,
making whirls;
and in words,
i do try catching them
before they disappear
and i catch them in bits
like scattered sunshine
among the shadows
of kites
tied to my being here;


in shadows and sunshine,
in learning and unlearning
i try to catch words;
 they make the sky
where the kites fly---
endless sky, solid sky

  7. Lovely images in your poem, Sreeja, I could see you grabbing hold of the thought-kites and fixing them firmly into words!
