A tumbleweed rolling through the streets in June,
holding hands with the sand clouds and crisp, yellow leaves,
on a day like any other - school, work, shop, cook –
that she felt the slow-releasing of recognising and
acknowledging
the tendril of a spirit, once embedded now is freed,
as the tumbleweed has grabbed it in its thorns and is
releasing
a long-standing hold that is...... just............ old..................
the tumble weed blows where ever the wind goes....and while it is freedom, it is still dependent on the wind...lovely imagery to open...there is a sense of a new freedom in this...in the releasing...
ReplyDeleteTrue unentangled freedom! This feeling always lasts for a glimpse but it is always worth it, no matter what!
ReplyDeleteFreedom and dependence...sometimes that goes hand in hand!
ReplyDeleteShadow!! I'm sure glad you stopped by to pay me a visit. It's been a long time. How have you been?
And, as you already know, I never tire of your writing talent!! You always paint a picture in words.
Such stunning imagery here! When are you going to do a book of poetry?!
ReplyDeleteI love the notion of a tumbleweed holding hands with the sand clouds...such wonderful imagery here. Tumbleweeds can represent so many things...freedom... being lost....searching....you have captured that here. Lovely writing Shadow. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what happens next!
ReplyDeleteAs I age towards youth all of the old falls away and even no tumbleweeds need carry me.
