A Moment With Dandelion


If only you will come to me 
Before you wither off in the slightest of the wind
If only you will talk to me 
Of how much you desire to remain in this world.

Talk to me of the longings of your heart
And I am ready to hear your song for eternity
Do not stare at me without a blink
For the time has dwindled down to a few moments.

Tell me your dreams 
That we might paint them together,
Brush strokes with myriad colors 
And splendor that no one can loot.

The occasion is now or never;
I promise to be kind with you
And hold your hand and whisper a song 
Till you take off with the breeze.

  1. Now that is a really beautiful poem, and to a dandelion! They are much under-rated as flowers, and they make wonderful wine. I truly liked this.
