Once I Felt Like a Sky Hungry Kite

I still don’t know how
I feel today ..
But I do know, I once
felt like a magnificent,
sky hungry kite ..

That is, until you chose
to eclipse me
and then your shadow
blocked out,
every ounce of my light ..

Now I stumble around in
the darkness
feeling my way forward
a bit at a time
searching for morsels to eat ..

But I doubt very much like
the phoenix,
either resurrection, rebirth
or revival will
remain on the menu all week ..

'Sky hungry Kite'    like that. I suspect the narrator here has been dethroned and is insecure, maybe even frightened. But this could be about any subject. Love, achievements, family, work, spirituality, age, anything. Clever write Nev x
