Rabbit

getting closer to my goal
lofty as it seems
I still try to get there
as quick as I can
minuscule rabbit hiding
in the leaves
leaping over branches and sticks
wanting to get home
in my burrow
away from the snow and cold
curl up and sleep until warmth
need stirs me to venture out
once more claim my place
in this big world
the best way I know how
getting closer to my goals lofty
quick as I can leap
toward a finish line only I see
only I set because it motivates
lofty goal I leap
minuscule rabbit
warm and tawny
hiding in inky leaves
filling my den till
inspiration blows once more
