nice to be an animal <br />free from worry and care <br />no possessions <br />no clothes to wear <br /> <br />no toothbrush or comb <br />sleep anywhere <br />no clock to watch nor time to keep <br />sun and moon with you, awake or asleep <br /> <br />away from it all <br />enjoying woods and field <br />no rush hour to negotiate <br />your animal spirit healed <br /> <br />mate with whomever <br />no marriage endeavor <br />'poor' as you both are - <br />on a wild date - gaze at a falling star <br /> <br />never a need to cook <br />food from soil, stream or forest nook <br />eat your meat and veggies raw <br />no fork or knife - use your beak or paw <br /> <br />wild, surprising adventure <br />every challenging day <br />nature intended an interesting life <br />this natural way<br /><br />Harlan Simantel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/animal-freedom/
