Dandelion Moves On

A blithesome royalty, sea of roses smile delicate faces spark in emerald pasture. Vivid sunny weeds, dandelions fragile... no one cares, stems of careless rapture. Petals felled in wanton lawn mowers, roots still strong in moist warm blaze. Radiance return, blooming little flowers with lion's tooth, serrate leaves amaze. Sulfur glowing yellow, sleeps in moonlight, opalesque heads, new dream of stars Wakes up to sun, soft balls fluffed white, unburdened wings, fly hours after hours. A pirouette dance of dandelion seeds in summer sky, holding hands of wind. Uprooted wafts fly, survive to breed, uncertain distant lands, hope gets pinned. Blowing birthday candles, wish of goodbye.... pangs of separation, siblings all forlorn. They'll never be together, no tears to cry. Life moves on, another dandelion is born.
