A brightly colored kite strung to a bundle of yarn. Her destiny delicately spinning in the hands of the unknown. Fragile.
Evening breeze. Falling shadows. Dusk.
The mischievous wind meanders... and ever so tenderly cajoles the restless kite to rise and set sail with time. Waveringly, the kite dares to take a step, a leap... to fly, to let go, to feel the wisps of freedom within her reach. The wind woos her on as she tugs at her strings and soars into the orange-tinged expanse of the sky above, reveling in the sublime rays of the melting sun. Transcendence.
Weaving dreams, the delightfully colorful kite strikingly contrasts against the subtly painted sky and in total abandon dances to the rhythm of the wind. Surrender.
The wind and the kite romance their way up higher and higher to a peak of almost no return... into the depths of sweet nothingness - only to be wrenched, torn apart and sprung back to reality, back to grounded earth. Fallen.
If only no strings were attached. If.

No wonder it would fly more freely if it were let go, but to where? There wouldn't be any restraint, it won't climb up, it would crash like it does when the thread is cut off. If only no strings were attached, it wouldn't be so beautiful, to me at least :)
Nice speculative post.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog and for the lovely comment :)
Your blog is really beautiful. I'll visit often!
I think this post was quite...visually dynamic. Wonderfully written and it makes our own minds wander off into the unknown as we follow the cadence of the writing...and the kite. Cheers!
@Blasphemous Aesthete - Thanks for dropping by!:) But any day, I would choose freedom (as limited or limitless it might be) and crash than to have never been free at all!
@Charu - Thank you so much for your beautiful insight on my post! I will be visiting your blog often too! :)
The lust for freedom. We all have it in us, don't we.
Well-written.
Strings are all around. One can't do away with them. They will be with us till the eternal freedom. Enjoy the strings...
