Notes







Electronic post-it notes
in books I read
on my electronic devices.
I leave them buried,
like mines in a field,
waiting for another day
to tackle the written words,
string them into poems,
place them on the walls of my house,
and send them as dandelion seeds
into the universe.
Seeds to sprout courage for others
from my failures,
wisdom from my pain,
hope in my second chances.
Grief, seen by the soul rising 
to meet the searing pain.
Emotions, overflowing,
rushing,
knocking me off my feet,
drowning in my sorrow,
transforming
through time,
allowing it to melt 
and change,
morph
and grow,
into a beautiful memory.

  8. Love the photo...and this line
    "send them as dandelion seeds
    into the universe."
    Might you include a link to dVerse (http://dversepoets.com) so others can find our prompts and also this increases the readership on your site as well. Apologies if I'm just not seeing the link already here -- it can be in a comment at the end of a post or in a tag....I'm a bit bleary eyed having just returned from a month in Bermuda to a fickle and cold boston spring!
    Enjoyed reading this very much!
