If I could be an animal for the day,
And sweep away the stress of the busy human way,

I might decide to be a graceful horse.
The beauty of the horse,
So grand with soft colorful coats of coarse hair.
And the way they gallop through the fields of land and flowers,
Without a care in the world.
A horse for the day, would be like a young innocent child,
Running carefree in the warm sunshine,
The brightness surrounding and sparkling on that precious coat of fine beauty.

Or perhaps I may decide to be a wild lazy alley cat.
And lounge in the tall hidden green grass,
Chase animals for a big mysterious adventure,
Or cuddle in a loving person’s lap
Without a worry in sight.
Falling asleep in the cool evening night.

And then I could fly high up above in the deep blue skies.
Soaring beyond the clouds feeling free and nothing but the
Wind in my wings.
I wouldn’t have to worry about keeping my feet on the ground,
Or where I was going.
I could fly beyond my destination, wherever the wind would take me…
There wouldn’t be a certain time, or place.
It would just be a flight, going to wherever and whenever I may please.

There’s something mysterious, yet something precious about these animals.
They don’t experience that stress of the daily human.
Most just graze, play, run, and fly-
Why sometimes a human should take this wise advice to their own minds.

Take a moment to graze,
Or run about in a field nearby.
Feel the sunshine against your face.
And pretend, that just for a minute,
You might be one of these animals,
Just for a day.

It seems that there has been a few participants so far in the “create a poem project.”  I just wanted to post what the poem has stated so far for those who might be interested in adding their lines……

UNTITLED:

Into the darkness, I wept, so one could hear my tears

My soul is forever broken.

Pieces that can never be repaired,
