The Blade of Grass

The rains are here, relentless 
 as ever
The grass blade is excited like 
  never
The season of hibernation is 
   over
Swirling in water, as duck dumpling
  in sauce
The blade of grass has come home to
   grow

It is a rich gourmet of moisture and 
  nutrients 
Thrusts the roots, taking its journey 
   southward
And the shoots also going 
    northwards
The grass blade has come to take its
    place.

As the rains continue in its
   season
The lush of greenery fills the 
  reasons
Natural beauty in such lyrical 
   passion
Paradise in a paradox,
 Laying her among
  the lilies.
