It has a will to live
popping up everywhere
in the lawn
light yellow-green
calling attention
to itself.
I pull them out
but more pop up
not to be defeated.
One pull had good roots.
It sits in a pot
on my counter.
I say it’s to identify it.
But maybe it’s just
a symbol of Life.
Something that
wants to be,
that has its own world.
Parallel lives
driven by a life force
seeking expression.
All life needs is a chance.
I used to have a pot just like that!
I gave it away in my paring down mode.
I’m not thinking I gave it to you, though.
I love dandelions.
Insightful and thought-provoking! Hope you are doing well!
Dandelions are not only determined, they are extremely healthy to consume after a thorough washing (pets seem to like peeing on them) and cooking.
