Field Song

Field Song

A Poem by Shannon April Alice
"

Thank you for sharing this with me. It's always an honor.

"
You are my dandelion
and I wait with stealth of a summer day
for you to stop preening in the field
of high grass and green bottles. 
Yes. I wait, stroke you gentle
with the ease of the summer breeze
as you sway and waltz
for the primroses and the cricket.
I watch with willful patience
like the ripening of the wild belladonna.
as you tease with your burst of yellow
for the field mouse and the garden gnome.
Yes. I will wait like summers heat
And when you are done,
And when your pretty
petals
lay
limply
at 
your
roots,
I will take you gentle into my summers grasp
and with my summers breathe
blow your beautiful grey afro out unto the world to swallow.
Dandelion, pretty primping boy are you.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece.
