It's their crowning time;

they've arrived;

wings spread over
the meadows of may,

wearing wide open faces
like schoolchildren,

you could almost
hear them sing,

watch their expression
as you acknowledge
their existence,

a choir of white atop
the kingdom of green,

make a wish,
won't you?  

how could anyone
pass them by?

knowing their time
comes and goes
with the blink of
a few more sunsets,

they skip with glee
over the land they
call home for now;

as soon they
will reabsorb
in the divine light,
shattering any doubts
of a girl's dream
of the world eternal.

Very nice. A good weed killer will get rid of the dandelions though

You know,
I love the way you see the world...
Was thinking of this very theme, pertaining to our own small seeds cast to the winds...
Something reaffirming about the yellow capped green fields.

Oh, I am so happy, Blueserenade brought this back!
You are magical, sweet Michelle!
This touches my heart in its delicate, ethereal beauty.
It wanders in my library to be savored again ...
It's so after my heart!
Love and hugs. Margherita

oh ... and congratulations on your 4000th!
Always wonderful posts and replies!
Thank you.
