the shadow that follows
The air is restless,
a kite tugging at its string,
as we lean into the wind
our stride stretches ahead
of the shadow that follows.

The very brevity of this work bodes depth of meaning the forces involved air and wind imply the restlessness already mentioned. The tugging and leaning effect. Then there is the following of the shadow. This well could be social movement or individual change. A powerful write my friend
Yes, both individually or societal. Thanks, Soren🙏🏻🕊️
My pleasure Cryptic

So many meanings. The Person moving into the Wind (Future). The Shadow the Past.
Yes! There are quite a few moving parts to everything that we go through in life. Most times the choice is blissful ignorance. Thanks, dear writing friend. 🙏🕊️
A beautiful scene painted here in words.It reminds how much fun can be had flying a kite.Well written
Always fun 🪁🪁🪁but somehow almost as tiring as a good session of swimming. 🏊🏻♂️🙏🕊️
Arqios, this really spoke to me. There is something quietly uplifting here...the sense of moving forward despite resistance. In just a few lines, you capture motion, determination, and perspective all at once. Beautiful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
