The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

A Blade of Grass

So small 
insignificant it would seem
Alone 
Waving in the wind
From the view 
point 
Of the dirt 
Looking up
Wanting to be 
More
Never realizing
Just how
Important
A blade of grass 
really is
If only a blade can
Look from above
It would see
All the 
Blades surrounding it
Never alone
Always holding 
The earth 
together
So the 
Pressures from the 
Elements 
Don't wash
Away
No matter how
Insignificant 
You may feel
You are needed
And wanted
And you my blade
Are holding 
Your spot on the earth 
To keep it from
Washing away.
