Questions for Bluestem
“Questions for Bluestem” grows out of my experience in Ohio prairies. If you’ve ever been in one at the height of the season, you know you can get lost amongst all that tall bluestem grass!
Bluestem do you know where I am
Swaying so tall over my head
If you were to find me
Would you recognize me
Bluestem do you know where I am
Bluestem do you know what I need
Shaking silence out of these seeds
If they ever find me
What would they remind me
Bluestem do you know what I need
Bluestem hover over this field
Could you bless this ground where I kneel
Spines that bend and shiver
Widen like a river
Bluestem hover over this field
