Dandelion Clocks

Twisted gossamer silken soft
A thousand strands of spun moonbeam
All to carry the single
Seed

A breath of wind to send them spinning away
Dancing on the currents
Tiny white moths that gather
To bump against the edge of the sky
And drink the golden April sunshine
That paints rainbows on their spider-silk

Until sighing breeze and lonely wind
Bear them into the distance
And the empty stem that remains
Slumps lifeless in my hand
