How high is the sky?

How high is the sky? Once tried to fly a kite...it flew a few kilometre high ...and still climbing up till my ropes was no more ..going up was easier it took one hour ..and then I decide to reel it Back..after 4 hours and twenty guys later ...we only got a mile Back and was totally exhausted !! ..what goes up MUST come down ..We waited an hour of breathless air..and yet it hung up there forever ...one hour before sunset we've given up hope ...of getting it Back in time for dinner.. I stayed Back reeling in till it was supper and yet i've only got Back another half a mile ...by bedtime my father came to take me Back ...he was worried that I was lost or hurt... We bid our goodbye to Mr.Kite and cut it loose...and very soon it disappear from our view ...got me wondering just how high is the sky?

About this poem:

Had a similar exp with a group of friends (5) we got it up and going and used a string that span 5 kilometres ...when it hit the mark it was still quite low ..after half An hour we decided to reel it in..it was total chaos and lots of bravado each one lasting not more than ten mins ..after 5 hours and with another 5 friends rope in to help ..we finally cut the string and ran home with our tails between our legs ..by the way ours was the only kite that flew the highest and longest ..our competitor got their string snapped halfway and it crash on top of the flat ..we never played kite again

I haven't flown a kite in many years. I don't know how high you could fly one. My guess is as high as the jet stream and they it would be whisked away by that. The sky goes up to about 62 miles before space. So even if you are in an airplane which is around 6 miles up, you still have about 56 miles of air above that.

I enjoy flying kites, and its neat to me to let it fly so high that I have to shade my eyes with my hand just to see it. Balloons too something from elementary school to put a message inside each balloon than let them all fly away naturally wondering as a child how high is the sky. Will they make it to outer space. Thank you for the nostalgic feelings.

Morgan, nice piece of prose poetry...a nice metaphor for life too, I reckon. That is, how high can we go in life? And what can we achieve?...enjoyed this one...Kudos, and more power to you....
