Drifting Dandelion

Drifting Dandelion
This morning
the world looks
a little different

Perhaps I will be
the only one to
notice – why –
because it’s
my eyes, my
perception
that is seeing
things a
bit differently

It’s like when
a dandelion
blows in the wind,
you see the tiny
bits of it being
carried away with
the wind and
when the last
one is gone,
blown away,
you find yourself
a little sad to see
it go, but the
truth is, you
know it’s meant
to be, carried on,
to float in the
wind and find itself
in another place, a
better place…

So be the dandelion,
float and drift as
life takes you and when
it is time to settle, you
will know and you
will bloom, spectacularly

What If

What If
Romantic notions
filed away, collecting
dust in a box on the
very top shelf

Unopened letters
returned in the mail,
leaves me to wonder
“what if”

A life of solitude
not purposely
chosen, yet one
I find myself
living, nonetheless

And the years
sweep by,
season after season and
I still tend to wonder
“what if”
