Dandelion Dreams

Today,
A dandelion is a soft umbrella,
It’s a wish list,
A shelter from the dark pounding rocks 
Of tv news, so.....
Just for today,
I wish for the cleansing tornado 
To melt like the whispers of the dandelion, 
Only because 
We already took that deepest of breaths 
This year 
2020,
And the dandelion took the cells 
And brunt of it all
Into the new wind that’s just around the 
Corner,
2021, engulfed in an awareness 
Knowing with certainty 
As deep as the sea,
That we planted the seeds
For ourselves 
As we transform 
Lighter than fear 
Yet heavier than air.
