The grass was fresh and green
Dew sparkling on blade tips
We smiled and held hands tight-
to the top we promptly skipped
Resting on the ground
Repose with arms s t r e t c h e d up
We gazed into the sky-
blue as the richest sapphire cut
Breathing air in deep
Tiny wriggles of fingers and toes
We slowly counted to three-
eyes squeezed tight to close
Over and
Over and
Over we went
From blue and then to green
From azure lights and wisps of cloud
To earthy damp and clean
Over and
Over and
Over we went
‘til suddenly we stopped.
Flushed and rosy-cheeked we grinned
Laid on the plane we’d flopped
Laughing still we looked up high
The crest beckoning once again
We ran this time - legs moving fast-
Over and
Over and
Over we rolled
Over and
Over
and then…
