    Grass


    Just as my finger flows down a glass window,
    So does that finger feel my blade of grass.
    It lies so serenely in my life-
    Its back arched toward the sun,
    As its spine stretches beyond the body.
    I touch it and feel its smooth lineage,
    And smell the dirty shoes that have
    Trampled upon it,
    Too busy and asleep to notice
    Its beauty and grace.

    Deeper and deeper and deeper I go-
    I feel so many feelings
    Knowing not
    I'm moving
    Into growing beyond
    What I understand
    Myself to be.
    Open me softly
    Open me darling.
    For I give myself-
    Mind, body and soul-
    Unconditionally.

    My simple blade of grass,
    Where have you been all of my life?

    I've been here!
    I've been here!
    I've been here!
    You see-
    All of this time
    A new understanding
    Of what's possible
    Allows us to enlighten
    Our visions.

    This is a classic transcendental meditation. You infuse the moment of empiricism with Rorshach inductivity. you have been waiting all your life for the subtle nuance that triggers release of inhibition. Your restless spirit is seeking roots with a fruitful bit of earth. This poem is dazzling with wonder and mystery.
