The Dandelions

Just a summer night.

Oh, everything feels so right.

I sit and stare out my window,

for the reasons unknown to me.

The wind shook the trees

and blew away the dandelions.

Their wishes wisped away

The birds went with the wind,

along with the dandelions.


Just a fall afternoon.

Oh, everything feels so right.

I wait by my window,

but oh no,

where did the dandelions go?

The trees were nearly bare,

The fallen leaves laid still

and the dandelions

nowhere to be seen.


Just a winter night.

Oh, but everything is alright.

I stood at my window,

but still I wonder,

Where did the dandelions go?

The ground covered in snow,

and nothing yet would grow.

Yet, I still know,

I have hope where the dandelions go.


Just a spring morning.

Oh, but everything is not alright.

I glare out my window.

I began to lose hope.

I tied the rope.

For where did my dandelions go?

I can hear the sound,

Yet, I'm so high from the ground.

I once again heard the

chirping of a Blue Jay.

For I have hope where the dandelions will go. 


Just a summer night.

Oh, but everything feels so right.

I look out the window,

for many reasons known to me.

The dandelions were back,

along with the wishes

that I thought would

never come back...
