I don’t know exactly when I changed

 into a kite...

  perhaps it was shortly after

   I stopped trying to fly

    and simply drifted.

     Until then I’d been Earthbound,

      a rock that never gathered moss,

       although I had never shifted.

        Held down by gravity but aiming high

         with my eyes fixed on a Heaven

          that was so far out of reach

           I almost stopped believing

            it actually existed.
