Dandelion Seeds

Dandelion seeds floating stately

Below their snowy white parachutes

Clinging mightily to the gentle breeze

Escaping to an unknown future

With no regret or recollection of the past

 

Born of common place and time

Identical looks, growth and size

Pulled out from their mother’s bed

Separated in time and space

Held aloft, serenely moving on

 

Leaving the sphere of birth far behind

Surrendering their survival to

Nature’s whims and fancy

Trusting to find that perfect place

To land and put down roots
