Dandelions
A poem by Lena.
*** Please Enjoy this lovely song "Dandelion" by Carolina Story while you read. ***
***
I await you, dear one
Just one day more
***
Just one soft touch
Only one breathless whisper
***
And I'll be there once more
Close your eyes and whisper to the wind
I'm waiting patiently for you
***
The breeze carries me softly as I float around you
My seeds as soft and delicate as feather dust
You giggle quietly as I tickle your nose
And gently perch atop your pale skin
***
You know I will float away again soon
Yet, your heart remains lifted up
Until the wind carries me away
You watch sadly as I twirl and flee
***
You worry you will not see me again
And your heart feels lower than before
Until you see my sister sitting low to the ground
A smile graces your face as you gently lift her up
***
Blow ever so gently, dear one
Let your breath carry her along the wind
Fluttering and floating into a white cloud
She swirls around you so lovingly
***
Liberated and hopeful, she sings out to me
We leave you behind for now
But don't give into tears of sorrow
For it won't be long now until we return to you
***
Renewed by the soft glowing rays of the sun
Bright and beaming, we await you down the way
And tomorrow you will gently pluck us once more
You sent us on our way so that we might find a place
***
And now we await you with roots growing strong
For the next time we will see you
When you lean down once more to pluck us gently
And lift us happily to your bright and smiling face
***
We await you, dear one
Just one day more
***
Just one soft touch
Only one breathless whisper
***
And I'll be yours once more
Close your eyes and whisper to the wind
I'm waiting patiently for you
***
We await you, dear one
Just one day more
***
Author's Note: This poem was inspired by the simultaneous joy and heartache I feel when I see a dandelion floating on the breeze, and the pure joy I get when I see it return the next day, no longer white and fluffy, but full of life and light!

Author's Note: The following poem was inspired by an assignment from one of my University Professors. The idea that we need some man with a doctorate to tell us how and why to show our humanity has left a sour taste in my mouth - not because of the professor who assigned it, nor the man who speaks the words. But frustrations with humanity in general, when we need a reminder to simply show we are human.

Dandelions are perhaps the most nostalgic flower ever! Great poem.
