I Lay Down In The Grass

I lay down in the grass

And gazed upon the weeds

I wish I could just float away

Like dandelion seeds

They start life bright and yellow

But when they want to go

They dance and spin and steal the breeze

Upon it they do flow

It’s so unfair

I did declare

Before plucking one said stem

Dandelions have all the fun

And in anger I did stare

I watched the white and puffy ****

With malice undefined

Why can’t I be a dandelion?

Life’s unfair I cried

I took a giant breath

And blew against the ****

It held for but a moment

Before escaping in the breeze

I watched the dancing seeds

And as they floated by

I snatched one quickly by the skirt

And whispered one small cry

Oh little seed please take my wish

And help it to come true

Take to the air

And do take care

Let me someday leave too
