Dandelion Dreams

Picture by: Sidney Carter

I take a deep breath in,

I close my eyes.

My thoughts cross my path;

Bigger than life,

Bursting at the seams

Vast in content,

Do I wish for love, life, prosperity?

My children… myself?

I open my eyes; second-guessing!

An idea,

Then a smile…

I close my eyes,

I inhale; sure of my notion.

I exhale…

Tiny seeds take flight,

With my wishes and my dreams on their wings.

I watch them soar,

 Gaze their flutter,

Observe my vision flicker to the heavens.

Will they arrive safely?

Will they be met with disdain?

Or will they spread their seeds of love

And grow for the world to see…

…and wish upon in the future?
