Analysis of Through the empty blades of grass
Through the empty blades of grass
Through the wide emptiness of
cause in effect of its change
through the matter of reason
where nothing stays
the earth of the flower in the seed of all
unmade surfaces wild and free
in the stillness of its stirring
perceives its possibilities
from learning seeds that sprout
blades of grass break through
in the hardening cement
of our lives
through the cycles of growth and decay
among the leaves of grass today
ceaseless cycles of life and death
in this wheel of living life
