Dandelions and Fairies

If I sat within the downy heather of the beauteous bogland
 That is Mnt Clanard
 Southern Ireland
 Beneath a birch ... beside a stream
 And plucked
 All whimsical like...
 One impeccable example of fairy winged

 Dandelion

 And as it wove in the soft southerly breeze
 I shared my breath
 Just one breath
 Just enough... to loosen its stability
 And watched all engrossed, like
 As it moved angelically
 Passing the treacherous stream
 As if my most desired dream

 It flew
 I wished it well
 Saw it clambering thermals
 Past brown birds and green green
 Fields
 What good would become of my wishing well
 And effortless breath
 Once it has left
 Past my sight
 Swooning flight of fancy
 I decree in my minds eye
 It will become
 Another new born fairy....
