A Dandelion

Away from the wayfaring sun,

Somewhere behind the veiled stars

Lies asleep, a dainty dandelion,

Away from the desires of significance

Somewhere within a lulling silence.

Tucked safely in a blanket of hope

Dreaming in fate's dwindling lap

Lies asleep, a feisty dandelion,

Tucked safely in an August warm

Dreaming of eloping with the storm.
