Grass

Stand and wave tall, slender, blades of envy While through you blow, the cool spring wind Thick carpet of ever changing pattern, One day, I will become a part of you As time takes toll, upon my wooden tree Releasing me to be absorbed by you As a part of you, I shall wait for the cool spring wind To blow me to and fro To be moistened by a summer shower To become the background for a flower Free from the cares of a dull, drab world Like a flag to wave in the wind unfurled

Wow! A very delightful and vividly eloquent poem! I feel refreshed by a gentle breeze just by reading it, reminds of the rolling tuscan hills.
