Severed in pieces, dandelions
collapse now, on checkered fields,
failing to thrive, their wishes
tossed amid the forget me knots
along with the nameless

And I yield to their season
in thankful reflection, of the gifts
they had offered, without stipulation

A farewell only makes it more meaningful when you can say, "Welcome Back."

So beautiful, dear EmmaRose. I love the dandelions and as a child I always used to blow the seeds off the head watching them fly off to a new lovely place to grow again.

Young dandelion plants (before the flowers bloom) are indeed one of the most refreshing salads one can taste. (Memory from Switzerland). Jimmy's comment reminded me of this.
