Backyard Chipmunk
A poem about a friendly chipmunk who loves my backyard
Iโve watched you hurry
between smiling wildflowers
encircling my backyard
your daring paw prints
love summer freedom
you sunbathe in pollen
on polite patio furniture
seeds inside plump cheeks
earthy tones of natures fur
mesmerize human eyes
you remind me of myself
foraging for divine light
fearless in sweetness
rejuvenating welcomes
in universal extension
sounds of acorns ravaged
glorify motivational sublime
I sense your kindness
in persistent food stored
for isolated winter nights
youโre so cute
I could give you a kiss
instead I watch
I listen
dear backyard chipmunk
Iโm blessed to have you visit
