Rock-Solid Float

With you on the Ground…

And I floating…

Every once in a while

A breeze lifts me

The clouds hide me

The sun warms me

And you tug on my

String and I join you 

On the ground

Ever so briefly

Until there is a reason to float

Even for a few minutes


Do not let go

Of my string

My arms kite-spread

Thinking I like this

There would be nothing

But a floaty feeling

Nothing to keep me here

If you weren’t there to 

tug me down


A raindrop splashes on my cheek

You tug me away 

Before the 

Downpour hits.
