Like a dandelion


Free and floating, oblivious of troubles in the world,

beautiful yet gazed upon as vermin, usurping, and without meaning.

But every view is subjective, what is a waste of space to one

is light in the darkest night to others.

Yes, a dandelion, beautiful and such a strong symbol

can easily be dismantled and stripped of its beauty by the gentlest of wind.

A whisper, typically inignfcant, throws something so simple

yet so powerful into complete and utter chaos.
