Last night in therapy

Last night while in therapy we spoke of a child and a kite
I was asked to imagine how I'd feel if I were in flight
What color kite I'd be; and what I might be seeing below
What a  very peaceful feeling: that  imagining let me know

Then I had to switch: becoming the one who held the string
What feelings did I know as I was watching my kite swing
Immediately I felt the stress of trying to keep up my blue  kite
While the winds decided to stop and put an end to the flight

Sometimes we are like the kite we are happy and so free
We're simply flying around and are peaceful as can be
But if we're trying to hold on while we're trying to take flight
We might come crashing down and things won't turn out right

There's need to be letting go if we're seeking something more
The more we're willing to trust the more easily we'll sore
We cannot be doing both things.. holding on and taking flight
Sometimes we must be willing to let another show us the light
