The Last Dandelion

Standing in the empty field
The sky darkened with clouds
The rain pours heavy like tears
The high grass grown from years
The ground ashen grey

Nothing left but decay

The earth is sick

With out wind the air is thick

A humid cold chill

Running through my veins, My heart beat still 

My lips blue an unhealthy attraction

I think of my unwanted reactions

In a field of morbid despair

The only living thing, a dandelion, there

White and seedy as if to be planted

I hoped it could help my wish be granted

Picking the last living thing from the ground

My lips puckered so, not making a sound

I blew as hard as I could

The seeds flying everywhere as they should

Perhaps someone will hear my message

Or even my Prayer

As I hit the dust

With my last breath I stare

I hope something will grow

This undying is my last hope

Let these seeds be the antidote

    Touching and heartfelt, sad and seem lonely like me, like the love we hold inside, the light of us...
