Ode to a Blade of Grass.

Even when everything
seems motionless
the world is spinning
faster than
you and I
can conceive.

Even when I’m
not moving
my heart is beating,
thumping
like primal drums
that make me dance.

Even when all the world
holds still,
balanced on the precipice
of change,
evolution is picking
the select few.

While stars I have never seen
burn
While molecules trade electrons
violently
While humanity aspires to
divinity

I will sit and watch the grass grow.Even when everything
seems motionless
the world is spinning
faster than
you and I
can conceive.

Even when I’m
not moving
my heart is beating,
thumping
like primal drums
that make me dance.

Even when all the world
holds still,
balanced on the precipice
of change,
evolution is picking
the select few.

While stars I have never seen
burn
While molecules trade electrons
violently
While humanity aspires to
divinity

I will sit and watch the grass grow.
