Fate

Always repeats

Atlast, atlast
i found a hopper jumping around
turning around, around and around, spinning,
leaping fast and faster
happily, satisfactorily
from one plant to another.

Atlast, Atlast
I found a frog observing
sharply, curiously, concentrating
sitting calm, meditative
beneath a plant calmly..

Atlast, Atlast
I found frog catching the hopper
swallowing, happily, satisfactorily
sitting calm, closing its eyes
In my garden calm and beautiful.

There is so much to see if you take time out in the natural world. Nature isn’t always kind though. Your poem made me think of food chains. I love spending time in my garden. Your poem creates pictures in my mind. Nicely penned Arundass. Have a happy Sunday.

Nature has wonders to behold, some cruel, some beautiful but all, only varying perspectives on survival. The grasshopper's demise is the frog's survival. Perhaps if the grasshopper were not so busy he might notice the impending danger. Great read, my friend. F.
