Dandelion!

Your seeds, patiently wait
to be scattered to the four winds
Perpetually in a ready position
You sway and double over
when the wind takes ahold of you

Dandelion!

You can grown
just about anywhere
So small, yet your resilience
is down right impressive

I honor you, friend dandelion

Imagine releasing
All your problems
All worries, frustrations

Right now
At this very moment

What does it feel like?
Ocho the Owl Nov 2013
You are enough
When you believe that you are

You are in control here
No one else

NO ONE
remember that

You are enough
When you believe that you are

An ounce of strength
Two table spoons of courage
Three cups of hope
Four pinches of perseverance
And five heaping handfuls of dedication to following your true calling

Stir often
Serve when ready

Stand tall today
As trees do
Be busy with your passion
The frenzy of a couple of bee colonies are perfect examples
Remember to have the kindness & goodwill
Of a young pup, tail wagging, exuding joie de vivre in its purest form
Be nourishing with yourself today
Be patient
Be enduring
Be a friend to the planet
Be helpful, when possible, to your fellow humans
Let your life be your message

I must've been dreaming
I saw everyone getting along,
all people
of all colors
They refered to each as
"brother" and "sister"
I asked about war & world hunger
They had no idea what those words even meant
They lived in giant tree houses
Most had very little possessions

Their wealth was their health
I must've been dreaming

I really wish i could be dreaming now

Glance and advance
See that the world
desperately needs people like you

Bold
Dedicated
Committed to making an impact

To leaving this planet better than you found it

Go now

Godspeed & good luck
