The grass is a hospice,

holding dearly
summer's relentless ones
enduring their final hours.

Nobly they drift into the night.

Upon straggly white strands,
i whisper yet one more wish,

into a whimsical sky,

one more time,

wondering as i long for it,

even why.

Lovely...wistful, with a sense of longing.
Much enjoyed.

Me to, on a daily basis...beautiful lines.

Remember as a kid getting a dandelion and saying "So-and-so had a baby and her head popped off"??  Maybe that was just me...

They say a dandelion is a weed, but they're wrong.

It's a pretty yellow flower that's almost impossible to kill.

It isn't fond of growing in rows, or of staying within the borders people define for it, and the more limited among them tell that weed story to make themselves feel better about its having eluded their grasp. That doesn't make it so.

I use to detest dandelions  but I wrote one ages ago when  sitting in front of my sisters in the early afternoon sun of Spring:

(smiles) Oh Michele, this is beautiful, sweet friend, I too felt longing in this but I know as dandelion seeds continue to be scattered about by other children's wishes, yours will come true very very soon! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, spread the wealth on, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michele, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
