Grasshopper


Away from the bustle of city folk,

visiting a place not like my own.

All is different and

all is calm.

This Grasshopper hopped

up onto my arm.

Around he walked, curious

as I. What a beautiful

feeling. To hold

such a creature that

at home I only ever the pleasure

to hear.

Why is the life so different here.

It is heavy on my conscience,

I wish Grasshopper would speak.

I live in the now, and actively pursue the feelings that are developed by every day motions. I enjoy literature, for it is an escape from the single world I am given into thousands of undiscovered realms. The power of the written word is what draws me to write. I am an Education major soon to transfer to Sacramento State University, and I can't wait to not only enlighten little minds, but to be humbled by their freedom. ♡
