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
Love the word-sky in shades and light. Beautiful thoughts.

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