The meadow was talking about it, 
I could tell...
stalks and seeds
facing one another, united,
talking amongst themselves.

I said it again
in case they didn't hear me

                                                    I am a masterpiece, a work of art

They whispered this time
to one another

as I wait for a response
I continue to talk out loud
as though all beings are listening 

                                                               (thank you)

as though all beings are also whispering back to me

                                                                                                (I hear you).
