It’s that time of year again, when I start to take weekends off from my blog, not totally, but enough to be able to spend time with my family. So, Backyard Buddies returns for Season 2 🙂
Hey! You look just like me! Hello there!

She dances, like a butterfly flutters
Caught on a simple breath of a breeze
Graceful as the flowers, she is blooming
Adorning meadows, she moves with ease
Soaring, like a bird in flight, she glides
Her life, a delicate balance, unbounded
Floating on the clouds, she is light as air
While trying to keep herself grounded

Falling from the heavens, like rain
These colors that paint the skies
Auroras, the likes of which you’ve never seen
And, oh, how my heart does sigh
Drizzled colors, of purple and green
And a glint of white, to surprise
Such wonder, I have never seen
And I thank God, for my two eyes
Its brilliance awakens the darkness
As I look up, with high regard
I, the sky watcher, beguiled by the light
Such a beautiful sight for this bard

My heart races
Setting speeds
Blurring faces
Anxious, in the morning air
Wondering, if someone’s there
To quiet, all the fears inside
And comfort me, as I collide
With restlessness, and nervous doubt
Just wondering, what life’s about

I tried to hide behind this tree
And hoped that he would not see me
A hyena is no one’s friend out here
Especially for a meaty hippo, I fear
He’ll make me his dinner, I can’t have that
Maybe I should be trying to chat
With him, before he gets too close
Though he may find me quite morose
Instead, perhaps, I could explain
That I’m no feast, he should abstain
He needs more meat, for his thin frame
Go on, go find some other game!
But silly me, he couldn’t care less
And so to him, I will acquiesce
But wait! He’s leaving, yes! I’m saved
It wasn’t hippo he really craved!
