Love Comes Down

Love comes down from its high point,
the moon, the stars,
but not as far as the grubby earth.

It lands in the treetops,
or the flower, the bud,
asks for nothing more than
sunlight and water.

And look,
that kite,
love alights on the top.

The string, the breeze,
no grand design,
but little things
keep it aloft.

Kite
