Flying On The Edges Of Time

Flying on the edges of time
moving through the tunnels of memoirs
a soul traverses the universe
sometimes it is a wounded bird
trying to reach the skies
sometimes it is a fragile butterfly
fluttering in the woods
bound to tides of emotions
like the cord of a kite
it flies and flies .........

I wonder if being bound to our emotions is the best wind we could be flying. They can so mislead us at times - leading to those places of hurt. I think we need to be concious on what we tether our kite to.
