The feeling fleeting

like when seeds of

a dandelion

in the wind

blow away

hold on

gone to soon

like so much 

it can't be found

again

not by someone with

nothing to grab

onto

but I wil reach

I will hold

finding something

finding a memory

or maybe a wisp

of something real

The author's comments:

This poem is to show the feeling of joy. So often people are caught up in the flow and bustle of life. We forget the enjoy the little (or even big things) in life.
