"Dandelions" by Debadrita Sarkar

Dandelions

I realise that

what life means

when the sun rays fall

over the dandelions

grasping the beauty ,

not as a reflection,

but as an ocean

it glitters over the surface,

with all of the white naked petals ,

blooming like webs ,

but abandoned by the spiders

unknowingly ..

and when the wind swirls,

The petals depart from their families,

pain differs them in the sky,

to again get the beloved one

by the vibrant trade winds .

The white petals clatters

forming a mist

over the wide peak ,

unfolding petals , dance

and cradles one another

for the last meeting

and then they choose their paths

away , from each other ,

in their directions .

The mist gradually disappears

unfolding an another serif of life ,

The freedom -

An another definition of life

and itself ..
