24. "The grass bends..."

The grass bends

then learns again to stand 

~Tracy K. Smith~

 

This was me this past week,

grass being tromped down

bent out of shape

torn and tattered.

 

This was me this past week,

a pawn in some mysterious game 

to teach me to look

and listen better.

 

This is me now

standing tall

sprung back from the ground.

Still rooted.

Still strong.
