Open and Celestial

click to count


there's so much more

there's so much more

a spring of chances and openings

each thing with its connection

dandelion involucre

tipped with wine our time

fourteen chances more

rich with hope and promise

to get it right before

all the stars in our brief lives

have sailed past the horizon







—The dandelion is thought to represent three celestial bodies. 
The yellow flower is the sun, the puff ball is the moon
and the dispersing seeds are the stars.
