a lot of soul searching depth in your beautiful words ...Chèvrefeuille try typing 'do' in place of 'am' like this... "every day grass grows by itself and so do I"... sounds better ~ to the ears ~ that listen ~ understand ~ silences ~ in english... when one translates into another language... one has to accomodate a slightly different expression of the same word... like i have translated your words...into hindustani... har din every day ghaass khud-b-khud bardhey grass (i-am-as-i-am but means on its own) grows aur khud-hum bhi and (so-am-i) too but if i translate my words back into english... every day grass grows on its own and so am I too see its the same as yours but again...in english...i must change it to "and so do I" (it means the same but it is expressed differently) i must compliment you...Chèvrefeuille you write with depth in thought

Dear Rebba, Thank you for sharing this wonderful comment. I have changed 'am' to 'do'. It deepens the thoughts I had when I wrote this haiku. What a wonderful translation. God Bless You.
