“I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.” Walt Whitman
Fleeting It happened, as I once noticed while traversing a field or two or so, that grass was fleeting, it came and went so momentary was this simple blanket of springs joy, its gloss soon enough a desicated paper, and in its brief passage, there I stood. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

This poem brought a smile. It reminded me of how much I enjoy seeing the wind ripple a field of tall grass.

Wonderful poem Paul. The tiny grass tells us something about life. The way they bend with the wind, just for a moment.
