A Blown Wish
A tiny seed floats above the grass
 It lets the wind take it to places 
 New and unknown.
 
 The wind carries the final seed
 The final wish
 Scatters from a gentle blow,
 Past a browning stem 
 And a bare face.
 
 Behind it is a field
 Full of clouds that fell from the sky. 
 Aged Dandelions strain in the breeze 
 To cling to their delicate seeds.
 
 A gaudy yellow flower
 Faces towards the sky
  And models itself after the bright sunlight.
 
 The small striking green stem
 Tightly conceals its face;
 Not quite ready to open itself up 
 To the world
 
 The soil breaks to let the new plant through 
 And take it’s first breath 
 
 The last lingering seed 
 of a blown wish 
 settles among the grass 
 and begins to grow
 into the next wish.
