Rustling touched a bent blade of an idea
whistling over ground,
to caress wildness and vision...

~borrowed words~

I now return them to you
In heartbeat of two as one,
A multitude of shades blending
As blades of grass kept bending
Then reaching upward
    Caressing a midnite sun

And late into the silent night I whisper:

Whistle your words to me, my love,
Caress the wildness, embrace the vision,
For the essence of all eternity
Resides within the power of Love’s domain,
Transcending all known barriers,
Even as those yet unseen fall away
From whatever walls did separate us

And you know
Yes, you know

That within that rustling blade of grass
I sat silently for so very long,
Becoming so fused with the Earth
I nearly forgot I was born of Waters deep,
Unaware the rising waters were my own weep.

And you know,
Yes, you know.
You know.

beautiful writing, Kacy!

Becoming so fused with the Earth
I nearly forgot I was born of Waters deep,
Unaware the rising waters were my own weep

WOW!

You inspire me to write, once again!
1derful piece!

By the way, we don't take too kindly to rustling, in the grass or any place else, in Texas

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
