Rise Up Little Dandelions
Some days it feels like things won’t change.
Like the world just keeps moving faster and faster,
yet I’m already dizzy and I am just too slow.
The world says to me, “little lelu you are so small,
and I am so big,” in it’s very boisterous Universe voice.
“How will you ever leave a mark big enough to be seen, let alone remembered?”
Discouragement settles on in my heart,
upon realizing what the Universe teases is true.
My pockets turned inside out, nothing falls out.
Drowning in bills,
Drowning in desire,
Drowning in fear,
Drowning in uncertainty
What will become of me?
Feelings of overwhelm hang
above like a rain cloud
Threatening storms and floods,
anxiety takes hold of me and I’m frozen, unable to breathe,
to move, to do…
But then something glorious happens to me…
I have faith,
I trust,
I wait,
although, the universe may be the one in control of everything
(even me),
the universe loves me, she really really does.
She gives me the most beautiful of things,
usually right as I need them.
She knows what I can handle!
Despite my small stature
It doesn’t matter so
It doesn’t matter, no!
I am as fierce and as tough
as she made me!!
And my heart grows and
it soars, even in the face of
those who may hate me
For when I think of my favorite
flower, standing tall, proud
Swaying in rhythmic harmony
with the wind’s sweetest songs
so beautiful
in her last dying moments
the last laugh is hers
because with the wind
she is endless eternity
For her best stories
lie hidden deep
never forgotten
subconsciously
resurfacing
in a tiny seed
timeless
❤️,
lelu A.
