Inner Beauty

Dandelions are the most independent flower.

They grow where they want.

No one plants them.

They’re free.

They’re infinite.

I felt infinite picking them in the apple orchard with you.

We were free.

We were infinite.

I couldn't handle my smile watching you,

Rip them out of the earth by the handfuls.

Your face was covered in sunshine and pollen.

It might have been the pollen that resembled sunlight.

Regardless,

You emitted the sun in a way I've never seen before.

I refuse to accept that dandelions are weeds,

Because I want to be a dandelion with you.
