Emerald Messenger

Poised upon the downy plume,

This verdant sprite, a living gem -

A fleeting spark in nature's loom,

Nature's artful diadem.

With leaping grace and antennae's sway,

It surveys this tranquil scene:

The glassy pond, the sunset's play,

The cabin's weathered wooden sheen.

This grasshopper, a living bridge

'Tween earth and sky, the seen and unseen.

Its delicate form, a fragile ridge

'Twixt realms where mysteries convene.

In stillness now, it contemplates

The timeless beauty all around.

A guardian of this sacred glade,

Where harmony and peace are found.

Through this feathered lens we gaze,

Transported to a world sublime -

Where nature's wonders, ageless, blaze,

And life's true essence we may climb.

This emerald emissary's pause

Invites us all to slow, to see

The quiet grace that underlies

This world's enchanting tapestry.
