Dandelion Seeds

I can remember blowing dandelion seeds

Out into the wild and wishing them free

But I could never catch the wind that I dreamed so desperately for me

I can remember that summer day

The leaves smelled of life and gently began to sway

I could feel the warmness in the air like it was there to stay

Seasons passed and people changed

But most just stayed the same

Faces grew worry lines and always shifted shape

Fall came and panic visited like an old friend

Brief at first then all at once like a virus you can’t mend

I don’t know If I’ll ever believe again….

I blew dandelion seeds out into the wind today

Let the air kiss my cheek as I began to sway

Right before the wild decided to blow me away
