| Grasshopper on table - Rachel Ruysch |
In autumn's warm sunlight
a leaf traveling wherever
the golden winds
blow...
there's a crispness to the air
leaves swirl in a riot of color
orange, yellow and
red
driving southbound
listening to distant songs
blue skies await ahead
suddenly, I sense
company
running my fingers in my hair
plucking him from a loose curl
what message do you
bring
green grasshopper, harbinger
of glad tidings, stirring my heart
lifting my spirit for the journey
I see life through different eyes
listening to soft chirping lullabies
soundtracks taken
from my life
so, my friend we travel together
may our musings never fall silent
let us dance to our own steps
grasshopper speaks to me
in a language I can understand
thinking forward is the way
where will our
quest lead
recalling summer songs
tuning my inner antenna
detecting energy & clarity
seeing beyond boundaries
into the realm of mystery
new discoveries & adventures
grasshopper clings to my hand
& I to the circle of life
connected in the journey
poetry in my heart flowers
chrysanthemums in bloom
inspiration in a song...
following signs
following new roads...
grasshopper
whispers
"take a leap of faith"
author's note: This is to honor
the grasshopper that recently
took a road-trip with me...
