Once I Felt Like a Sky Hungry Kite

Once I Felt Like a Sky Hungry Kite

A Poem by Neville

Once I Felt Like a Sky Hungry Kite

 


I still don’t know how


   I feel today ..


But I do know, I once


felt like a magnificent,


   sky hungry kite ..


 

That is, until you chose


to eclipse me


and then your shadow


blocked out,

   

every ounce of my light ..

 


Now I stumble around in


the darkness


feeling my way forward


a bit at a time

   

searching for morsels to eat ..

 


But I doubt very much like


the phoenix,


either resurrection, rebirth


or revival will

   

remain on the menu all week ..

I remember feeling like I soared once, but now I only fly in the same way a daddy longlegs flies, by jumping up and down and bouncing about a bit, shouting "almost got it" as gravity beats me once again.
Sometimes those dark corners are best, and some of them has good eatings in them too! 😃

The poor kite being shadowed and made to feel less than what it is. This makes me feel sad and a sense of loss of being a priority or valued. Great comparison
