Waiting
for the sun
it never
finds us here
in the dark
Waiting
for the rain
droplets never fall
The season
for change is long
overdue
And so we
must take our leave

Dandelion
Offering her seeds to the wind
Floating softly
Now their fate is out of her hands
She did her part
In all of you
we place our trust
Are you prepared
to nurture us?

We grow between the cracks
We reach over fences
We feed ourselves
We take root
Does our presence bother you?
Unwanted intruders
Unwanted intruders
Soon this garden will be ours
The bees do not discern
The difference between us
You're only "sweeter" here
Inside this enclosure
Beauty cannot be contained
Unwanted Intruders
Unwanted Intruders
Soon this garden will be ours

I'd like to move the way the wind blows
I’d like to travel how the water flows
Carried by the current for a while
And when I land
I’d like to rest the way the stones do
To lie forever taking in the view
Never wishing I were somewhere else
Yet here I am
Like a bee that’s trapped inside
Against the glass her wings collide
A wall she cannot comprehend
Against which she cannot contend
But in the end
She found her peace upon the window sill
She found it in the act of sitting still
And when she found the strength to try again
She flew outside
Through an open window
And so I see the way it could be
And through the glass I see a better me
But growing up is harder than it seems
So many dreams
They turn around in cycles in my mind
A knot of expectations intertwined
But when I found that I’m already whole
I let them go
I learned move the way the wind blows
And now I travel how the water flows
Carried by the current for a while
I found my way
I learned to rest the way the stones do
To lie forever taking in the view
Never wishing I were somewhere else
I learned to fly
Through an open window
