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.
