leaves of grass <br />each blade turns my world <br />between this and the next <br /> <br />leaves of grass <br />each blade triggers <br />a clamour for eternity <br /> <br />leaves of grass <br />each blade a dance of the joy <br />of the moment <br /> <br />leaves of grass <br />each blade sharpens <br />my thought of nature <br /> <br />a child asks what is grass <br />i say it is the love of God <br />played out, whistled, whispered <br /> <br />a child asks what is grass <br />i say Whitman's growth, ever green <br />you and me, here and beyond <br /> <br />a child asks what is grass <br />i say listen listen to the evergreen <br />everlasting love whisper in the field <br /> <br />a child asks what is grass <br />i say love, because like grass it grows <br />and evokes so much fond memory <br /> <br />a child asks what is grass <br />i say the wave of every blade <br />as it is touched by divine love <br /> <br />a child asks what is grass <br />i say look afar, take in the field <br />and beyond.....every blade is God's love <br /> <br />day and night <br />every blade of the grass dances <br />to portray nature's laws<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/walt-whitman-tribute-haiku-leaves-of-grass/
