Lemongrass Dance

I started growing Lemongrass in my porch a couple of weeks ago.  So now I have a love for taking care of the plant.  The bunches of lemongrass have grown so much in that time that now I believe i can plant them in the ground, or atleast move them from the porch ledge to the ground for safekeeping.  They are such a joy to watch them grow.  IT makes me realize the importance of slowing down and watching things and those you take care of prosper and develop into something beautiful and useful for our lives. The lemongrass has given me a new appreciation for time and space and beauty.  As an herbal remedy for many things, with its fragrance, and with its earthly significance to nature -- I can honestly say I am so in love with lemongrass.  

Dancing with Lemongrass

I passed by the stalks;

Grazing eyes, I felt on me.

Silently -- I stopped

Engaging with each of them;

So they can grow without me.

Lemongrass Tea

Cool minty-ness hints 

And sweetness kisses I taste 

In my tea tonight,

Wishing I made it sooner,

Regretting time went by.

Lemongrass Herb

An herbal wonder —

Add it to your meal cooking

And it becomes

An explosion of flavor;

Inflammation warrior, too.
