Walking Away

• a sunny day with leaves just turning

  • transition
  • natural process
• then like a satellite wrenched from its orbit

  • the boy is a satellite he is the planet
  • aggressive and inevitably bad
• with the pathos of a half-fledged thing set free into a wilderness

  • not able to fully fly
  • scary and dangerous
  • maybe its a good thing
• who finds no path where the path should be

  • no direction
  • not sure where he is going
• like a winged seed loosened from its parent stem

  • simile
  • gentle verb - more accepting
  • natural seperstion
  • cannot blossom or bloom still attached to parent
• how selfhood begins with a walking away, and love is proved in the letting go

  • a connection is still there despite distance
  • prove love by freeing them
  • relieving
