RetroesqueComment by Jutilda: i came across a lonely lake
with but a sandy shore
and then I saw that tuft of grass
it shook me to the core
how could it make its roots stay strong
while rippling in the wind
how could it be so all alone
without a single friend
I watched its bleak reflection
a solitary dance
perhaps my passing there that day
was more than happenstance
it gave me pause to watch it there
alive against the odds
it gave me hope symbolically
my twilight with the gods
darkness fell and as I stood
the scene became quite clear
the grass and I were just the same
alone, we'd persevere
