Blue grass piercing higher
skyward
blocking out the sun
for those too small to know.
Wish it were not so
that bluegrass blocked the sun
but there is nothing I can do
to prove it otherwise.
When winter bows its leaves
and strangers trod upon it
bended it will be
and critters underneath will know the rays of Glory.
Until then, make a cathedral of your blades
reach skyward, ever high-ward
for in trying to reach the sun
you reach back to me.

The description of bluegrass blocking the sun is really vivid. It makes me picture a thick, almost impenetrable field. I wonder how the critters feel when the grass is bent in winter. Do they scurry around, trying to find the remaining patches of sunlight? And what does it mean that reaching for the sun is reaching back to you?
