I often wonder,

is it me who finds them
or are they the ones
that purposely seek me out?

withering in obscurity,
april's bloom still stands
half looped,
in october's drying fields,

i tug at its stem
expecting resistance,
but it frees itself willingly,
loose as a baby tooth,

beckoning that i send it,
off to infinity
where it could relinquish its self,
on this day when the breeze
still blows tender,

i stop myself midway,
out of breath right now
rendered a bit wishless these days,

getting ready
to endure the uncertainty
of yet, one more winter,

we grow in eachother's shadow
little dandelion,
dancing as partners
beneath the wind's choreography.

Before I even got through this ...
my mind sent my Spirit out to dance among the dandelions~

'april's bloom still stands
half looped,
in october's drying fields'


Oh my, how very, very pretty is this thought~
Thank you for being a poetess~

Oh, if you could only have the picture to go with your words!  So beautiful, Michele.

(they seek us out, I think) *grin*

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Just like phantoms, aren't they?
Always just slipping away..
