They Are In Fortune’s Hands

Braving the hot & piercing Sun

The boys indulge in endless fun;

I watch their faces gleaming

With joy, engrossed in kite flying.

Headless of the devilish world

Like an innocent happy bird

They scream & shout & are called

By one another, all enthralled.

With every brisk & swift movement

Of hands that are skill’s embodiment

They send their kites soaring high

Like far off birds, up in the azure sky.

Absorbing part of the game, a kite is cut

Whirling it goes over hut after hut;

To win the booty the triumphant boys race

Giving a slip, it drops to unknown place.

Their hope in life too would soar

High like kite & I would share

Their joyous fulfillment. But O Fortune!

Would you Spare or shatter them & make the boys roar?

A good way to summarize the poem with relating the kite to life.

Fly me high
dont ask me why
let me see things from where
I havent seen from….
let me dare from where
I havent been to……
let me live from where
I could urge too……

Cheers buddy………your kite is flying high…
