The Snow And The Grasshopper Poem by Sergio Savioli

The Snow And The Grasshopper



Silent white mantle covering

Everything on the scene outside

As cars squelch by

While on the edge of the window sill

Sits a grassless grasshopper

Legs held high

Unwilling to take

That leap of faith

His barbed limbs cling tight

Eying me an alien wraith

As we both remember

Much sunnier skies

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Grasshopper Symbolism — The grasshopper is associated with astral travel. They have the ability to leap through time and into space where the true mysteries of life exist. People with this medicine have the wisdom necessary to overcome obstacles efficiently and are able to jump into successful ventures without preparation or planning. When the grasshopper appears to us we are being asked to take a leap of faith and jump forward into a specific area of life without fear. Usually that specific area is one that we have avoided and is often connected to change on a larger scale. This can represent a change in location, relationships, career or just in the way we perceive ourselves.

Grasshoppers can only jump forward….not backward, or sideways. So, when a grasshopper shows up he could be reaffirming to you that you are taking the right steps to move forward in your current situation. Or it could be that he is telling you to go ahead and move forward, getting past what is hindering you. This is why the grasshopper is a symbol of good luck all over the world. The grasshopper's ability to connect and understand sound vibrations is why he is also a symbol of your inner voice. He could be telling you to trust yours.
