Dandelion - Stay, Stay+

I sail past a dandelion seed

It’s flying!

It flies to me!

I risk a lot but have to try, at least

So stop

And in doing so risk dropping all that I’ve got

The hill is steep

But it’s crucial in my airborne leap

And I’m familiar with this patch of land

My hands are my dreamcatchers and

I have been taught:

That if a man is not willing to jump for his dreams

Then how can his dreams be caught?

I am the everlasting calm

I turn over my hand;

My fingers to unfurl…

What’s this in my palm?

I’ve never felt such joy

It’s like looking into your face

I don’t have to choose

I’m both in any case

And so I’m not sure which one I like to be best;

The pellet or the pest?

The bullet or the vest?

The bail or the arrest?

And so I’m not sure which one I like to be best;

The egg or the nest?

The hostel or the guest?

The baby or the breast?

And because of you I know, now I can live

The gifts that I can give

If we keep Staying+

And my darling all the light that you give me

The goodness I accrue

When you’re feeling blue

I’ll breathe back into you

And so I’m not sure which one I like to be best;

The flower or the weed?

A million Dandelion seeds are floating in the breeze

So every time you catch one

You’ll know you’re catching me

An everlasting bond

I send to you, from the beyond
