The Grass Braid

Three strands of grass,

one longer than the other two,

twisted and flipped with the 

purpose of creation.


Questions arise, but the makers

succumb to their focus.

One blade over the other,

the pattern commences 

to form.


A braid appears out of

nothing, beauty from an

average plant.  Admirers

inspect, until the braid 

is abruptly ripped

in half.

This poem was inspired while hiking, taking a break to sit and write in a grassy field.
