The Kite            The above pendant features a kite with the tail encircling an earth-like stone, and a string leading upward.  It was inspired by  "Lynn's Poem," which was written by gifted poet Annette Melnicove, of Indialantic, Florida.

It’s hard to let out                                                                                                                               so much string on the kite:                                                                                 it moves up and up,                                                                                              farther away                                                                                                           but you hold on                                                                                                     attached by a thread                                                                                           that becomes more invisible as it climbs                                                        You stand with the ball of string                                                                       in your hand,                                                                                                        feeling the wind tug and slack                                                                           as the kite flies higher and smaller                                                                    Until you fly it without seeing,                                                                           by feel,                                                                                                                    you fly it by heart.                                                                                                  We let go of the immediate sight:                                                                     we never let go of the thread.                                                                                                                                                       ------ Annette Melnicove, “Lynn’s Poem”,                                                                    April 18, 2006, reprinted with permission
