Walking On Sand

Jump
Go ahead, catch air And leap No rope required here Feel the weightless ease On free ankles Lift eager heels With bended knees Nearly touching the back of hamstrings Let gravity settle your feet Into stable ground When your up high It’s hard to come down Smile with a new found joy Jump for happiness…
