Through the dusty slats of my Venetian blinds, the neighborhood’s idiosynchrocies are filtered to an acceptable level of mundane monotony; as the grass grows and verdant leaves open up, spilling the cups of spring that runneth over everything filtering the dust of the disintegrating pavement, and a window streaked with bits of humanity’s wastes clinging tenaciously, the mental virus of city life intertwined with real dirt as through it all I see the cheerful yellow blossoms of hardy dandelions… pushing their way through the manicured lawns as if they cared nothing for our notions of weeds and such. Laugh if you will, those wicked willful weeds shall inherit the tilled soils even as they are filled with low-life-killing intent. I love those dandelions [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (04-25-2005 09:48 PM).] |

Silly me! I thought you moved to Oregon...  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

dandelions are lion's teeth, with bright yellow flowers on a hollow stalk. Its seed head is white and fluffy and its leaves are used in salads, medicine, and winemaking, and a very fine wine it doth make...smiles and huggies to ya lady! Enjoyed the visuals |

And those dandelions love you. If you were watching carefully you could see that they were opening their buds to see your smiling face easily and hear your beautiful words more clearly. Lovely read!
