Grasshoppers, Dolphins and Eagles
Stay
or go
the question
to be answered
I look to the skies
searching for harmony
but I see clouds of discord
anxiety builds up inside
and suddenly, I want to break free
like grasshoppers jumping in fields of green
like dolphins swimming in the azure sea
I want to soar in crystal blue skies
I want to fly like an eagle
let my spirit carry me
to a place where peace dwells
a place where hope thrives
and we can feel
peace and love
for all
time

I guess grasshopper is very strange food! I like your poem.
Ha ha, it sure is a strange food to me…. I don’t think I’d want to eat one, but I hear they are a fried delicacy in other countries! 😛 ❤
That just sounds so creepy! LOL
I think we all need to soar above. 8 points Earthling
