Seeds of Dandelions

I forget which way today sails


on this ship across the sky.


Walking home, I took my own trail


and no one ever asked me why.


Do you wonder?


What it could be like


on the other side -


over and under all the roses?


Beyond the starry gate,


your true calling awaits -


say goodbye to keeping up with


the Joneses.

*


Today I make my own magic,

and like a habit I

imagine…

what you and I could be

if we…

were free of keeping up with the

Kardashians.

I didn’t mean to be,

but I just happened…

and I harnessed serendipity;

dreaming we were free

just like the

*seeds of dandelions*.

*

And I forget which note my heart sings

in this buzzing hive of bees.

All alone, I struck my own strings

and no one caught me humming way off key;

Do you wonder?


What it could be like


on the other side -


over and under all the blue skies?


Beyond the picket fence,


free of all this pretense -


say goodbye to keeping up with all


their life lies.

*

Today I’m making my own marvels,

and between sparkles I

*envision*

what you and I could be

if we…

were free of keeping up with such

precision.

It wasn’t my decision,

but somehow, I'm

enlightened...

and in serendipity

I dreamed that we

were free (just like the)

*seeds of dandelions*.

*

I forget which way the Earth spins

on this ride around the sun.

Amid the crowds, I grew my own skin

and the world went on (and on!) and spun.

Do you wonder?

What it could be like

on the other side –

over and under all the rainbows?

Beyond their secrets

if you can see it;

you’re free to choose how bright

your life glows.

*

Today I’m making my own beauty,

and *true to me* I’ve

carved and chiseled sculptures

of how lovely we would be

if we…

were free of worshiping

*star culture*.

And from my shoulders

I have lightened

the weight of

*trend affinity*...

I've dreamt and brought to life

a life in

which our souls are heightened

and are free...

and I didn't mean for it to happen

(but it)

*happened*

in a fashion just like

serendipity...

and now you and I

are in the sky

and happily..

flap in the horizon,

just like the puffs

just like the fluffs

just like the

*seeds of dandelions*.

*

And I forget which vibe my soul craves

in this world lost out in space.

Looking back, I’ve made my own waves

and no one dares to frown their face.

Do you wonder?

What it could be like

on the other side –

over and under all they

take their silly pride in?

Beyond their circus

you can find your *shining purpose*;

flying freely

(just like the)

seeds of dandelions.
