A transformation in the wind
Not a gentle breeze that emancipates
A lion tooth's angelic mane of seed
But a monsoon that threatens a souls complacency

The cycle of life and death that exists in all
A passion that ebbs and flows
The gust descends and reveals its riddles
From death to life another phase begins

The resilient fathom and unravel the mystery
The frail are sightless, seeing only the gluttony of their ignorance
Resist the wave of ambiguity, which seek to batter and disfigure
Death is the path to rebirth where being is eternal

A footpath that offers joy and agony
Success and failure
Hope and despair
A trail of wonders and judgments

Rejoice in the pain of lost love
Revel with delight at doom and forebode
Ours is a journey of enlightenment
With plunders worthy of life
Life changes for all of us and we go through cycles. We try to learn from our mistakes but mistake need to happen to grow. It's hard to fathom this when your life is in disarray. In hindsight, we are grateful for the ebb and flow of life. It's what makes it so interesting. For reference, a dandelion is also called a "Lion's Tooth". For me, it symbolizes a human soul that can spread beauty (a little yellow flower). It's a **** that can blossom into something worthy of our attention
