As I lay on my stomach trying to photograph
The lovely way the dandelions catch the evening light,
I thought to myself:
What do you see?
A weed —
Or wishes?
Suddenly, the wind blew
And the tiny wishes
Floated away, like sparkling fairy dust.

Dandelions are at their most beautiful as they go to seed and fly off in the form of wishes.
