Dandelion Clouds

No need to sacrifice daisies

When my discernment knows the truth

Soil was tilled and amended

But their love did not take root

I blew on dandelion clouds

Hoping to spread love far and wide

Only to watch them get mowed down

“Sorry, they’re not what I like”

Thank you for reading!
