Untethered Kite

by Jesse James Doty

Adrift in the swirling currents of wind

I feel like an untethered kite

Lost and out of control

unsupported and unloved

Since Cindy's diagnosis

everything has changed

although I know she still cares

she is unfocused about her future

I want to hold her close

telling her everything will be alright

but all I can do is hug her

until the suffering goes away

I hope when the sun rises on a new dawn

she is cured and herself once again

Then she will give me all the care I need

I'll feel supported and loved

the kite will be tethered,

and I will feel grounded as before

Cindy, my caregiver, has been diagnosed with an aneurysm in her brain. I care so deeply for her as a friend and caregiver, that I feel lost for her care, so I wrote this poem to try to deal with all of this drama and trauma.
