Wishes

     if i jump,
     and fall through the clouds...

     will you catch me?

     like a child's wish -
     made on Dandelion seed
     from a field
     and carried on the wind
     waiting to be heard by God

     if that seed,
     lands on soil and plants promise...

     will you search with me?

     for those precious secrets -
     wanting to be discovered 
     so we can be like faeries
     and somehow manifest
     gifts for those innocent hearts 

     if I hold,
     those hearts in the cup of my hands...

     will you whisper gently?

     that sometimes promises -
     get lost but feel broken 
     and need revival
     like a thirsty tree stretching 
     it's leaves to the falling rain 

     if i dare,
     believe we are part of the Galactic...
     
     will you turn away intimidation?

     and choose excitement -
     telling the butterflies in belly 
     to fly out from the throat singing
     because young souls are waiting 
     for the energy of Older to guide

     if i understand,
     i cannot fly in green suit forever...

     will you help me grow up?

     without the cursing -
     or dwindling of spirit
     because we older still bloom
     holding ends and inbetweens 
     growing buds from the Ancients

     and i,
     will be a sunflower...

     looking over the dandelion
