Dandelion Dreams

Shall I not rejoice also at the abundance of the weeds whose seeds are the granary of the birds? - Thoreau

desolation hums

it knows not the rhythmic words

hope dances from crumbs

Author's Note

"I am no more lonely than the loon in the pond that laughs so loud, or than Walden Pond itself. What company has that lonely lake, I pray? And yet it has not the blue devils, but the blue angels in it, in the azure tint of its waters. The sun is alone, except in thick weather, when there sometimes appear to be two, but one is a mock sun. God is alone,—but the devil, he is far from being alone; he sees a great deal of company; he is legion. I am no more lonely than a single mullein or dandelion in a pasture, or a bean leaf, or a sorrel, or a horse-fly, or a humble-bee. I am no more lonely than the Mill Brook, or a weathercock, or the north star, or the south wind, or an April shower, or a January thaw, or the first spider in a new house." - Thoreau

Thank You for giving beauty and hope to this flower (could mean so much on another level) that so many see as a weed to destroy.

Woah!
First of all, Dandelions are my my all time favourite, so anything and everything about Dandelions intrigues me..I straight off came to your page when I saw the title of your poem in my newsfeed :)
Secondly, Henry David Thoreau is my all time favourite...and Walden is one of his works very close to my heart, so these are absolutely two points why I really like your poem.

Thirdly, and most importantly, beautiful, beautiful video :) and I always admire your Haiku

Kudos.
Happy Writing fellow poet and writer :)
