– to Walt<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Grass, O little blade of grass<\/p>\n
How is it that you sit so still<\/p>\n
Through summer’s heat,<\/p>\n
Through winter’s fury?<\/p>\n
To I, it is quite a feat<\/p>\n
That you are never in a hurry.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Often I have wondered<\/p>\n
How you came to be – right there.<\/p>\n
Often I have wondered<\/p>\n
Why it is you are anywhere,<\/p>\n
So silent do you pass through life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I don’t need to know<\/p>\n
The categorical imperative<\/p>\n
Nor understand completely<\/p>\n
The holy trinity.<\/p>\n
I need not know the reason why<\/p>\n
It all began<\/p>\n
Nor how come with firy splash<\/p>\n
It will end.<\/p>\n
I only long to know<\/p>\n
Of your sweet solitude,<\/p>\n
You little blade of grass.<\/p>\n
Then,<\/p>\n
Contented I will be<\/p>\n
To sleep with questions<\/p>\n
In this house of broken glass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
