Kristen's Notes

I am a kite on a beach.

Dipping, rising, twisting, diving.

I spread my arms and catch the air

And it drives me skyward

Laughter escapes as I scare myself. 

Then turning I dive towards the sand

Faster than I should

Risking destruction

The spectators scatter as I plummet

Waiting for bright colors to shred against the shore.

But not you. 

Standing on the beach.

Holding on to me by a thin line.

Always connected. My stability. 

You know I won’t crash, 

Because I know you won’t let go.
