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 a duck dumpling in sauce The blade of grass has come home A rich gourmet of moisture and nutrients Thrusts the roots, taking its journey southward And the shoots going northwards The grass blade has taken its place. As the rains continue in its season The lush of greenery fills the reasons Natural beauty in lyrical passion Paradise in a paradox, Laying among the lilies.
