“You limit me like hell!”
Said the kite to thread;
“I want to fly far-
Above the skies, beyond the moons,
To travel forever, to never return soon.”
“But you!!! A damned thread-
That keeps my strings attached to globe;
Tightening me the moment i am to leap-
Still I care for you, and never leave for an abode.
I fly, so as to support you.
To take you out of the store,
To make you feel- how good the breeze smells
And straighten your back the stayed twisted and bent.
Had I not learnt to glide…
What you might have been?
A mere tag- having no worth and
Sans a life to feast.
But enough of this favor from me-
I have been looking above for a while;
Can see my dreams smile.
Can hear them calling me-
the mighty sun, the twinkling stars
The mystic peaks of Everest
And even the galaxies of heavens.
You are finite having no dreams-
Fed up of being alive,
While I am still young, lively and colour ful;
What relevance our relationship has?
When you are stuck being on earth,
While I want to flutter high with a jazz.
So this is it, my dear creeper;
I leave you all alone,
I have my worth much more than yours,
I am born to fly to the heights of the infinite.”
The thread cried,
“I love you beloved!!
Please don’t go!!!
For all these Alps we have covered-
Neither you, nor me would have covered alone.”
The kite saw wind changing its course,
Fluttered its specs, it untied the knot,
Saw the thread falling down-
And felt that “all-free drift”, which it always longed.
But not to be,
the descent began soon;
It tried its best-
The efforts were doomed,
Dreams dead-stars fading-moon betraying.
It just could sense-
some Chirpy kids, running on earth,
wanting to fight for the poor paper.
Before the paper soul could realize,
It wasn’t the kite that kept thread on height-
It was the other way round-
soon the kite was crapped into pieces.
Those chirpy kids, running on earth- butchered the Flighted Dreamer.
And the thread was rolled up for the day-
to fly again tomorrow-
With a new hope, but a sorrowed soul…
~Papermate~
Papermate is just another face from the maddening crowd.
