VIOLET

Purple and small

The green grass stands tall

Hiding and protecting me from all



When the wind blew

You tasted my fragrance

But you refused

To acknowledge my presence.



How many feet have scurried by

How many stepped on my face

Even the bees and the butterflies

They never knew

And just like you

Not once stopped to see

What lay behind this grass-tree



how many hearts I have yearned to feel

how much pain I have concealed

not one soul desired to know

that I, too, am a part of this meadow.



Shrunken and shunned I fall

Behind the green grass that stands tall

Blocking me out from all



When the wind blows

You taste my fragrance

But you still refuse

To acknowledge my presence.
