A brief moment in time.

short rope of youth      
our hands
bound to slip off  
eventually

When we are youngsters we have boundaries, I.e a short rope; which means that we should obey them and respect them…. On the other side, our parents should love us, care for us, direct us , and ready us for adulthood…so the short rope will eventually get longer and longer until we are set off like flying birds to find another nest, another life…..
Nice write!
Warmly, B

Not necessarily the saddest, but brief indeed, especially when compared to the humblest little tide washed pebble.
