Dear sweet sara this kind of reminds me of childhood and kites , back in the day kites were a thing, and everyone enjoyed kite flying. And what a deep metaphor this is to describe childhood and time. To say that the young are the kite and the aging are anchors has a philosophical wisdom there , that hits deep and keeps readers pondering. Brilliant poem this is. Pleasure reading your work always. I hope you are doing well and sending you light today and always

I enjoyed this one Sara. Young kites are always trying to cut their anchor strings.

yes, Jerry, they do...I suppose that's the nature of young kites. Thanks for those words and your visit...have a pleasant day, Sara
