Wild as a Dandelion
Free and wild,
Dancing in the wind,
With stars in our hair,
As carefree as a dandelion seed,
Defiant,
Joyous,
Flouting all the rules,
Brushing off convention.
Living in the moment.
Laughing at the sun
Society snared us.
Restricted our steps,
Tied us to its rhythm.
But in our heads
We remained
Floating on the breeze,
Swirling in the currents,
Vitally alive
And free.
On Summer days
On hillsides and in valleys,
We still challenge eternity
To do its worst,
And dance
To the rhythms
We created
Together,
As free as a dandelion seed.
Opher – 12.10.2020
Aaaah youth – a time with no commitments, no shackles, nothing that could not be thrown away or abandoned. The time before responsibilities applied the shackles.
What dreams w shared. What times we had.
Then reality kicked in and the shackles were applied.
Yet in our minds we remained free. Our thoughts and memories could not be confined.
