Not a Karen the World

Nonchalant, the leaf whirls without care On the wind it rides to somewhere Tree-free, it flies with bird-flare A swinging light feather Kite without its string Airy last fling Roaming to end in new… …new trip where? Heaven knows Eagle eyes watch wandering winds blow on leaf’s air-current show Released, rides to an unknown Leaving its toils, freed at long last Departs, dancing for the next recast…
(1/3/23 For Feel Free contest inspired by quote 7)

well it was based on the book 'Where the Crawdads Sing' - it was very good and I wonder if you saw the movie? It was good :)

Like being a daring young man on a flying trapeze and having Nonet. : ) Fun and free and whimsical and beautiful. You have captured a moment of nature that will pass just like sand in the hourglass. Well, at least a fun shape.

Sort of like ourselves, through various reincarnations. Love how you write, all of nature watches...much we have in common, us totality.
