The cars passed me and there it was …. Silence, it grew.
I heard the birds singing, I looked up and saw the sky was blue.
I walked alone and watched the trees dance in the wind, free
This could be anywhere , anytime. I could be a younger or an older me.
Still no cars, the sun shines but it is cold, February holds no heat
Then I am twenty one again, warm sun, pushing a pram and I have bare feet.
The newborn sleeps in innocent bliss, my flame haired boy toddles beside me
He chatters away to me in his own tongue, he knows what he says but it is still a mystery to me.
Looking up into the sky I see the unmistakable out line of the Kite his tell tale, tail diamond shape.
His rise and fall is a joy to behold , the wind lifts him his wings spread wide like a vampire’s cape.
Still the silence lasts and I hear my beating heart. I hear it boom, boom in my head
Down down swoops the kite, he has found his meal something good for him, something dead,
Just as I get used to golden silence as it caresses me and relaxes me a car turns into the road
The warmth is gone, leather boots on on my feet. No babies here only the Kite in the sky glowed.
The car passes me and then another a steady stream now drowning out my heart drowning out the silence
The Kite hovers again then he is gone. I walk alone, along the road to home traffic noise wiping out my thoughts.

This is really an appealing sketch, willowdot. It sings as effectively as a poem sings. May the kite of your daydreams always dance in gentle winds above you.
