Ana Robinson Poet Light Verse

The Gravel Road

One cool summer morning while running upon the gravel road
I listen as the birds happily chirp upon the branches
I imagine myself as a bird
I would fly high above the trees and soar carefree 
I would then sit upon a branch with other birds and watch people labor 
People are like honey bees constantly working never grasping the beauty around 
On this cool summer day I was a bird and enjoyed the beauty of forest surrounding me
I sat upon a branch and noticed a little green centipede snack upon the soft green leaves attached to my branch
While soaring above the earth I felt the wind upon my wings and I felt the warmth of the sun upon my feathery back
However my happiness ended with the crunch of the gravel upon my shoes
I am human again, at the end of the gravel road
But once I was a bird…
