Yup, it's going to be a sad poem week. But that is good, we need to explore that. I guess. Your poem is poignant.

I really like the imagery of the dandelion puffs; they so easily desert the mother plant with only a slight breeze.

Wow, we do frequently abandon our own dearest wishes.

"Someones dearest wish" only a puff away. If only they had known. Simply moving!
