I remember it started
with endless hours
seated on hard floor
in the midst of dirt and friends
collecting tools and improvising
constructing through what we were visualizing

It was the enthusiasm of the end goal
that drove us on
even when our time was interrupted
by parent’s call for dinner
we reconvened the next day
with same zeal as we left
and thoughts of our design still intact

Alas! under bright blue sky
with chill noon breeze blowing
Our hopes raised sky-high
we loosen the leash
and raised our gaze continuously
as our kite took flight
leaving behind huge grin on our faces.
