Losing Count

I stared out over the field of wild grass as it lay before me

Untamed and swaying in the breeze.

 

I thought about each individual blade slicing the air

Each flower upon its stem

Defiant

Bending…but never breaking

 

And in that time, seated upon my grassy knoll, I understood

These were my thoughts of you

As numerous and defiant as the grass of the field

 

As untamed

 

Running together in a blur and standing in the fore front of my conscious endeavors

Washing over me in a breeze

 

Bending me… but leaving me unbroken.
