Ephemeral – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

The dandelion fluffs dance on the wind,

ephemeral as a fleeting thought,

whispering secrets to their wild kin,

The nation of taraxacum and its many forms.

They take root in the cracks of our realities,

unfazed by the concrete worlds we project.

With golden blooms, beacons of hope,

reminders that life finds its way.

And in their unlikely life cycles,

they emote moments of beauty,

brief and terrible as summer storms,

intimately powerful in their impact.

For even as their fluffs scatter,

carried away on the breeze,

they leave behind a legacy of resilience,

of tenacity in the face of adversity.

So let us cherish these moments,

these flashes of brilliance in a world of grey,

and take heart in the dandelion’s example,

that even the most fragile life makes a difference.
