The Seeds of Life

Every dandelion wears a crown
to show its royal heritage to the sun.
It sits on a slim, fragile body
supported by a root
biting into the earth
with ferocious determination.
Every seed is a truth of life
prepared to tickle the wind
or the lips of breathful child
and fly on an adventure
to sink its truth
into the womb of the earth.
“Many boast of their adventures in life.
Those who have tasted dandelion wine smile.”
Dartwill Aquila
