Poetry & Essay

come out from among them 
and be ye separate

     into the open field       
  i was one tiny seed         
 borne by a bird on flight 
     blown by the wind       
     nestled into the womb 
  of earth's brown carpet  
       nursed by rainfall      
    nourished by sunlight. 

      after a long parade     
      of nights and days      
 a towering blade of grass 
       stood erect and royal  
          amidst the rest         
      of the surrounding vegetation 
  cultured and manicured by man.

           pregnant with flowers        
                 so rare and fair              
    man's domesticated hands       
            aborted my roots               
      tossed me away and far         
        and called me a "weed"
