It's a poem that grows on you with each read.
Maria says:
As for the story behind it — the haiku was inspired by the famous line from Gone with the Wind, when Scarlett O’Hara says, “I’ll think about it tomorrow.” I wanted to capture that same feeling of postponing worries to another day — the lightness of a mayfly moment when we choose to simply exist, letting thoughts drift away for a while.
Lovely!!
I love the lightness of touch in this, it leaves the reader dreaming room.
