we danced to the melody of the spring breeze
too lost in our handwoven paradise of dreams
 to notice when the gentle lullaby
became a torn haunting cry

nature began to weep
mourning the dandelions crushed under our feet
the tears came down on us like bullets
but we'll stay together no matter how harsh it gets

skies rumbling, hearts thundering
waiting for the storm to pass
eyes closed, darkness ensures
freezing winds pushed me away from you

but clouds embrace the sky
as comforting as ignorance or a beautiful lie
the winds drift into peace so mellow
under my feet, dandelions start to grow

the sun's faint golden lights glisten
and my eyes flutter open
flecks of rain sleeping on my lashes
soporose birdsong in the distance

i turn to my side
awaiting your reassuring kiss
but like the newly bloomed dandelions
you drifted away with the winds
