Explore "Advice to a Grass-Blade" by Maxwell Bodenheim on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ Thin and dark green symbol / Of an earth forever raising / Myriads of chained wings, / Breezes have a form, to you, / And sounds break into vivid shape. / The proud finality of tiny sight / Cannot lure your pliant blindness.
/ Thin and dark green blade, / Be not awed by trees and men / Whose sound is all that gives them life. / You reach the sky because your face / Is not turned toward it.
