Daughter of the Wild

By: Piet Rampai

She loves the forest

​

Where the grants stand guard protecting her,

​

Shielding her from the world of busy streets

​

And pollution

​

She knows lightning bugs are flying down to volt

​

Gently she captures them in a ball mason jar

​

Temporarily holding starlight.

​

Pixies emerged when her exhales send them flying

​

From the dandelion stalk,

​

Floating free in the field of lavender.

​

The only blades in this place are the ones 

​

That tickles her toes as she dances below the weepy willow,

​

That will never judge her tears.

​

The babbling brook tells her tales

​

Of the deep cerulean sea,

​

Where it long to be salty to the tongue,

​

But free to roam in the sunset.
