Bouncing From Here to There

I think there is wisdom in  
grasshoppers, choreographing
their  journey one bounce at
a time...always moving forward
to the rhythm of life.

singing songs from their heart
taking leaps of faith ..seeing
beyond the concrete world
knowing fields of green are
waiting for discovery

    Okay, seriously. You had me at this first line:
    "I think there is wisdom in
    grasshoppers"

    Oh, YES. And such great wisdom indeed.

    I'm scared of them at my sea
    Please don't send them to me
    Wise as they may be
    I'd hide in a tree
    Calling your name needing help
    Would you hear me yelp?
    Just so you know my project's done
    Now it's time to have fun!
    How are you and your Truesuede shoe?

      Don't be scared Blue
      no need to hide from view
      I would hear you yelp
      knowing you needed help
      as earth orbits around the sun
      Glad your project is now done
