I am having a good day! It’s a day off, so I am just hanging
out...doing a bit of work and a bit of play, too! :D

The Things I Am

I am the water nymph, gliding in its net,
Exploring to the limits of my pond,
Growing and maturing until I burst,
And fly out to the vaster world beyond.

I am the buzzing nuisance, a constant underfoot,
With eyes and ears of funnels for the new,
A magnet toy attracted, somehow bound,
To always be a shadow under you.

I am the gliding songbird, forever on the wing,
Dancing with the wind in sylvan vestures,
Which calls out in a voice thrown back behind it,
Ventriloquism with its sleight of body gestures.

I am the tasted morsel, dissolving on the tongue,
With all my light and fancy being cast,
Into the world that nurtured me to be its folly,
I snuggle into comforts of the past.
