Tears of a Dandelion

Morning spills hope across the horizon-

Soothing dull grass with lullabies.

Nurturing dull roots into sapling sprout-

Observing the unfolding scene.

The dandelion sheds a dewy tear-

It forms softly amongst inflorescence florets,

Before dropping slowly-suspended

Within rossetted leaves �

Encased in a spider�s web of worlds.

A fortune teller�s orb

Of futures past.

And in the dawns light zephyr,

It wavers �

Spreading seed of something new.

A gentle release in final goodbye �

To children grown and

Flown into dreams –

They made their own.

Beginnings ending to begin again.
