Miscanthus
By Everett A Warren
August 31, 2007

Like a proud headdress
on a native king
the grasses
rise tall
they acknowledge
the wind but do not bow to it
not now
and not in their youth
when they have aged
and have prepared
new young blades
for their ascension
after the winter snows
have weighed heavily upon them
they will nod their heads to the earth
and become one with their ancestors
lying in state deep in slumber
granting their descendants
the whole of their knowledge
the whole of their being
for their roots
of their community
are still strong
