-----
120 Flying High 

 

There is nothing thatcan free your mind

and lift one’s spirit asa flying kite, 

prancing along on ablithe Autumn breeze,

grounded by a slendersilvery cord 

with tail laughing inthe sunlight. 

 

A deed best done inSpring or early Fall,

when seasons turn andchange is in the wind. 

And so it is for allthings living.

There is a season foreverything. 

When I was in theSpringtime of my life, 

The wind wafted myspirit on its breath

I soared like a laughingkite through the sky,

grounded to Earth by asilver cord.

By and by, I reached myAutumn time.

A capricious wind,bright and lithe, 

tossed me around,jaunting and jibing, 

with airs ofunpredictability

Called, all I had to dowas join in the fun,

I was still more thanequal to the trials, 

entering the lists withbluster and gusto.

 

Then Winter windsarrived and harshly blew,

forcing me to often seekshelter. 

Fewer times do I dancein the sky,

for fear of being tornby the storms. 

One day or night thewind will drive so hard 

my silver cord will besevered, 

and I’ll be free to fly to the great unknown.
