My days are dancing dandelions

Scattered on the field in swirling constellations

Rippling through time like whispers

That remain forever sealed in unutterable silence.


Every day, the wind comes and blows away another one of them

Every day, I see my field growing emptier. 

Somewhere out there, there is a green for each of us. 


The wind whisks away a flower from each of them

Never skipping a day or forgetting.


I wonder if anyone has ever found a way 

To make the wind stop blowing.
