Heart's Delight

The kite clutched to your chest as if your heart had escaped glorying in yellow & red your fingertips releasing it to the sky where like a prayer searching for a God it knew it flew like a wish lost between clouds now impossible now real my heart now too dancing next to you we chase each other across a vast immensity of blue kite tails twirling like laughter spiralling with delight cutting the sky into shapes that shift and change entangled now brought back to earth out of breath we run gather the other’s heart into our trembling hands souls embodied now still in the sky.
