Dandelion Dreams

Swaths of golden dandelions 
tumble wildly over the hillsides
in a waterfall of yellow hues
that sparkle through 
dew laden grass, gleaming 
with fresh simplicity. 

As dandelions sway in the wind
soft murmurings of melodies 
resound, rustling and tossing petals 
like wild notes playing 
over a wind blown breeze. 

Delicate powder puff dandelions
round and leafless, airy and white
carelessly blow and fall apart
drifting away, like wandering hearts
wrapped in dandelion dreams.

"round and leafless, airy and light" is a great description of a dandelion gone to seed.
