Advice to a Buttercup
Undistinguished buttercup
Lost among myriads of others,
To the red ant eyeing you
You are giant stillness.
He pauses on the boulder of a clod,
Baffled by your nearness to the sky.
But to the black loam at your feet
You are the atom of a pent-up dream.
Undistinguished buttercup
Take your little breath of contemplation,
Undisturbed by haughty tricks of space.
Lost among myriads of others,
To the red ant eyeing you
You are giant stillness.
He pauses on the boulder of a clod,
Baffled by your nearness to the sky.
But to the black loam at your feet
You are the atom of a pent-up dream.
Undistinguished buttercup
Take your little breath of contemplation,
Undisturbed by haughty tricks of space.
