Oh the beauty of meadow grass <br />As hoisted blades <br />In their unadulterated jade <br />Softly flutter <br />In a metrical cadence <br />In the tempestuous November wind <br /> <br />Oh the beauty of meadow grass <br />Soft evergreen lattices <br />Strewn with the wines of the prairies <br />Forming labyrinths and catacombs <br />To the industrious ants <br />As they scamper about in garrisons <br />To edulcorate the reservoirs <br />With stocks of nectar <br /> <br />Oh the beauty of meadow grass <br />For beneath the gossamer carpets of jade <br />A bed of seed await <br />To entice passengers of an avian pedigree <br />For a hearty banquet <br />To metamorphose a herbaceous ocean <br />To a terrestrial rainbow of color <br />Decorated with the kaleidoscopic plumage <br />Of the angels of nature <br /> <br />Oh the beauty of meadow grass <br />Paved in empyrean jade <br />Orchestrating <br />The quintessential divan of nature <br />For the advent of amorous lovers <br />As groping palms and lunging lips <br />Converse bereft of speech <br />In the pidgin of love <br /> <br />Oh the beauty of meadow grass........<br /><br />Dilantha Gunawardana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-the-beauty-of-meadow-grass/
