Today i was a grasshopper..
green as a leaf right after the first rain
roaming freely through the high high grass
in and out of its shadows... warmed by the gentle slivers of sun light that filtered through
raiding ant hills and tickling the little busybodies, teasing them with my antennae
jumping high and higher still.. climbing to the very tips of the shady blades
aaaah..basking in the winter sun at last...
the drugging doping sedating sun
so off i hopped to the huge red lily by the side of the wall.. lay on its velvety petals and dozed off in its welcoming embrace
i explored and wondered
dreamt and lived
touched and felt
smelled every scent
tasted the wilderness of my world
aaah today i gave freedom a heady kiss
the wild green hopper that i was today..
