Journey to Ixtlan

The poem “Dear Kite” was inspired by a Tumblr poem that said “A surfboard, a kite, a bright blue sky. A beautiful sight A natural high”.


Dear Kite

Why dear kite
do you fly high
with string attached
to hold you back?

I fly so high
because I’m held
against the wind
that fills my sail.

Could your path
extend further more
without a tether
your tail to hold?

Crashing down
would be my fate
a deadly end
without a faith.

Are you happy
to be held so tight
no longer free
to wander far?

I followed paths
on the ground
now I fly
with blue to hold.
