Oh golden glory
My dear slender tender
Your gracious swaying
Brims me with wonder
Like a ballerina in the ballroom
You, in your dainty way
Make me adore you more, day after
day
The little lad comes and rubs his cheeks
against your furry golden delight
The brook stops to get a sneak
of your delicate rhythmic dance
Travelers,
artists and poets are astounded
by your intense calmness
By representing the sun, moon and stars
you connect with the celestial bodies
making us ponder about the gross and the subtle
rekindling the thoughts of questioning our own existence
By depicting withering as
a beautiful process
You strengthen people invoking hope
You shine along with the blazing sun
and show the way for a brighter
perspective
yet to the chosen few, who have an
eye to see this glory
Note to the reader: The dandelion is the only flower that
represents the 3 celestial bodies of the sun, moon and stars. The yellow flower
resembles the sun, the puff ball resembles the moon and the dispersing seeds
resemble the stars.
I thought for a moment that this is one of William Wordsworth's unpublished works discovered now. Pure magic with words. A veritable treat.

ReplyDeleteFirst comment,the way it is put across is as if the Dandelion has spoken to you in person with all her feelings. Speechless after the deep words .
Secondly, the flowers are going to make a queue asking you to write something about them. Lucky Dandelion.
Way to go.. keep the creative instincts up and let the world experience more such blissful masterpieces from you.
Thank you very very much :)
