The Lonely Kite (Short Story)

The wind would chase the kite around
Like a prize its dying to have

Like magic, they lifted off the ground
Stamping the sky a piece of passionate red

They waltz with gales

flit through turbulence

claiming the sky their dance floor

The clouds were merely the furnishing and
the hanging sun sparked through the kite like the split prismatic beams from the chandelier crystals
Shining upon the two slow dancers

However, the wind was never meant to stay forever.

The moment the kite runs back to the wind

the chase is over

The caberet will end

The kite will fall

The spine will break

The sail will tear

He will crash

But the kite will soar again with the next wind even though nothing ever changes

With each crash tearing a bigger hole

Somedays he wonders when he will stop flying
