Carried By the Wind

An ascending seed, A ball of life wandering, Floating through the air. * Floating through the air, In search for its’ field of dreams; Whispers to the earth. * Whispers to the earth, It’s story awaits to spring; Searching for soft soil. * Searching for soft soil; Waiting for climate and light; On the hardened earth. * On the hardened earth, Anticipating its’ birth; A gust comes again. * A gust comes again, With unsuccessful attempts; Carried by the wind.

This is a wonderful write. I have to tell you a happy story... I took my daughter to look at the river near my home as it has been rising so quikly with all the rains. While we were there she picked up two dandilions that had went to seed. She told me to keep it a secret but to make a wish and blow the seeds into the wind to be carried to Heaven so it can come true. Just a cute story, your poem brought this beautiful moment back for me. Thank you. Great writing as always. Smiles from Lolita
