Have you ever stopped to watch the grass Peeking through the snow And wondered absently to ask How it knows when to grow? Like a love that faces woe And hides beneath the surface Knows when to let its fire grow And when to touch a lonely face? Questions abound for timings sake And in this life our faith Doth quelsh the fear and thirst slake And allow these our decisions to make. Perhaps then the grass too makes its wandering ways To peak above the snow and to the blue And perchance feel the sun's rays. So to love we reach like blades of grass Reaching for the one And we'll reach until this love has passed Like the setting of the sun. < Knowlege tempered by wisdom...Wisdom tamed by youth. |

RSEvans- I like this. I've seen blades of grass reaching beyond the cold and struggling with the effects of drought and fighting through a layer of concrete ... each brought back to life by sheer determination and strength. I've always admired the tenaciouness of grass. Thanks for the rendering. ~*Marge~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
