The Life Of One Dandelion Poem by Martin Lochner

The Life Of One Dandelion

Rating: 5.0


Between two tightly paved
concrete slabs

I found a yellow dandelion
moist and rooted

In the mossy crevice where it grew
Feeling growing dread
That misty morning feet

Would crush her green spine

The little flower unperturbed
glowed Vermeer like
with a film of pollen gloss

It seemed oblivious to the
crushing threat
and stood there with a straight back

Fragile

Mortal

And beautifully alive

I like the ending, fragile mortal and beautiful alive...somehow it shake some lesson of life to, as we all have feelings that fragile sometimes especially when we shaken by, wind of test, and we all not immortal for sure but that's the way how we can make the life going become beautiful...like it :)
