Complexities are captivating in such an erroneous way...

Tippy toes. Eternally reaching. Grasping stability. Yet, never standing firm. Balance. No need to grapple. Flow. Breath is all this form requires💙

Listless dreary soul
Ambitiously unperturbed
Raindrop races start
Growing drops awaken thrills
Excitement now supersized

Vacillant legs make their way to the door. Her back facing the prison she erroneously accepted. No longer will Stockholm's embrace be her refuge. Each eggshell crushed as the sunshine kisses her glistening cheeks. Today, the past makes way for tomorrow.

Eradicate the impulse
Redirect, cheeks turn.

Happy to be, is the leaf.
Happy to bathe in sunlight.
Happy to drink rain.
Happy catching rainbows.
Happy to bounce with friends.
Happy to leap into wind.
Happy to be, is the leaf.
