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.
