seems like the kite 

wants me to let go

let me go   says the kite   (just to be clear)

i say   if i let go 

you'll fall to the ground

(i know my physics)

the kite says   no   let me go

let me fly and soar

and be the kite i was meant to be

i know better   but let go   

predictably

the kite falls   fluttering   to earth

what can i say   told you so   or   lesson learned   

or   cutting the ties that bind leads to unexpected consequences 

i say nothing   

the kite sighs   bruised   but smarter for the fall 

is quiet
