Dandelion Wishes Dandelions in the sun, Wishes afloat on tender puffs, Children dance in ecstasy, As each seed takes flight, A delicate whimsy in the air, Cradled by the lightness of being.

Whimsical dreams scatter away, Against a blue backdrop, While the elders spun yarns Of the grasslands and wildflowers, Amidst petals, we lose time, Giggles carried by haunted winds.
