dandelion – Leaf And Twig

Wishes Plant Hope

the wind
will send them into the world
these hopes for peace, equality, freedom
to take root in every nook and cranny of the land

dandelion sundial
yellow petal hands
telling summer’s time

perennial hope
winter wished
for yellow blooms

two stepping towards summer
the breeze lifting fluffy skirts
and changing their partners

old man winter puffs
and ice flies
like dandelion fluff

wishes gather
into orbs
as light holds hope

winter exhales
constructing dandelions
made of cold hope

like dandelion wishes
snow flies and floats
congregating in expectation

morning mist
the veil between
eternity and now

disparage not the dandelion
who blooms in hope with wishes

that goodness
thrives and multiplies
like weeds.

Scatter your wishes
farther than your feet will ever travel.
Dream dreams bigger than the universe.

Dandelion
most darling and daring of weeds
the yellow sun that wishes grow upon.
