YOU are Grass
Location
What is grass to you?
Perhaps, are they
nothing more than a
good-for-nothing plant
you trample on and
take quick glimpses at?
You do not know
what you’ve overlooked.
For these blades
have a tale to be unveiled.
A tale about you.
Day by day,
creeping ebony
shadows, emitting aura of
insecurity and envy,
envelop their blanket-warm light.
In a split second,
they're crushed
by the darkness
But, in seconds
their blades
rise.
And once in a while,
a storm of razor-sharp
swords slash their blades
into two, but the
life of the blades will not cease.
Though it will take longer to grow,
they have survived
and will continue to
rise.
Even worse, weeds
in the mask of grass
secretly lurk their soil,
absorbing what they wield
and plotting their demise.
But that, does not matter
The blades have the strength
to stand ground and
rise.
Through these hardships,
they still stand here.
Through the time
of rustling leaves,
to the time
of the fluttering flakes,
to the time
of the rushing water,
to the time
of the sizzling suns,
they have endured
so much and yet
they still continue to
rise.
You,
the blade of grass,
will always
rise.
