Hopping into Sunset
In the golden reeds, where whispers weave, A lone frog leaps at the close of day. Emerald hues beneath an amber eve, Where shadows dance and water sprites play. Through lily pads and ripples round, It hops with a heart so free, Chasing sunsets, where dreams are found, In the twilight's melody. Each leap a tale of hope and cheer, In the realm where rushes sway, A small creature with no fear, Embracing life in a vibrant display. Hopping into sunset, bold and bright, A journey through nature's embrace, In the fleeting, soft kiss of light, The frog finds its tranquil grace. With night's curtain drawing near, Its song joins the evening's choir, A symphony for those who hear, In the dusk, it kindles its fire. So hop, little frog, to the end of day, Under skies painted with love's hue, In each leap, a story to convey, Of a world, ever wondrous and new.
A beautiful recitation of the poem is here.
