ground frogs
i woke early to take advantage of a light misty rain
each step a pursuit of whimsical rainbows and dreams
it felt so very good to walk as minute drops gathered glistening
slowly streaming down to pool in one large drop
in the corner of my eye as though I cried
for all the things I've done that hurt others
in the corner of my eye as though I cried
for all the things I've done that hurt others
unwittingly thinking i was helping them
so as not to be deterred in my quest to improve who I am
I kept up a lively pace so that the shimmering beads met
mingling along my swinging arms
only to fall off
halfway between elbow and wrist
halfway between elbow and wrist
nourishing the ground frogs
who must vanish
undercover
in the heat of day
leading me to
contemplate
contemplate
how we all hide
in curious ways
