grass!

"at one
with every aspect
of creation"...

free
like the grass that blows

to just be grass!

to shout it out
green!
and earthy

loving my toes
that live deep underground

never
for anyone
to lay eyes upon,
to comment on,
to compliment...

never
looking for validation--
that i am great grass;
doing a great job
of being green, little girl

oh lordy!
these funny people
who constantly seek affirmation
for being some tiny aspect,
something different and better than (and far smaller than)
the miracle they already are!

a candle, you see,
not aware of its brilliance,
its glow
its warmth
its continually melting quality
its light,
its jewel-like beauty,
colors of orange, violet, blue, gold...
continually transforming
and no delineation of change possible

oh the joy!
just to be the grass!
that i am!

juicy green in spring
stiff and dry in autumn
soft, moist, and dormant under the winter snow

ever connected to all there is (can you imagine....a world ....without grass?!)

all i need pours down upon me
lays underneath me
forever supporting these roots,
feeds me

joyous cleats upon me, yes!

feel
feel
feel it

how absurd to dream

a grass skirt i will one day be...

life
life
life
is now

forever

now!
