Kite Flying in Garry Point Park

On a sunny day with friend in tow

It’s fun to share and take life slow

Our world is ruled by ticking clock

So, when we take time out, it’s not.

 

From grassy knoll we launch our kite

The wind picks up, we’ve timed it right

Its bold design unfolds, floats high

Its streamers, bright red ribbons, fly!

 

The teasing, playful wind pulls taut

In offshore thermal it is caught

It bobs and dips then swoops again

With the slightest touch upon the rein!

 

Thrills and excitement are the norm

Pure joy distilled in simple form

It dances, twists and turns with ease

Intoxicated by the breeze!
