Soothing
Healing
Chewing
Loving
Plantain
One of the herbs I have loved
Since I first
Could see
And decipher the greens
Of the world
From one another
And I then realised
How little I know
For how hard can it be to know one
Green from another?
Healing from harm?
Cleansing from accumulation?
Not so hard
It turns out
But fear,
Oh yes this will stop me in my tracks
For many decades
As it turned out,
From learning
What do you fear?
I fear the fear of turning
Toward the not-knowing
And realising
I was welcome all along
