Wind-Sown Seed Irene Hao Adrift
Surfing on the wind I am a dandelion seed Fuzzy hairs Holding onto the world By a loose grasp You desire to blow me away I desire the same O wind, hug me Be my legs and wings and guide Which way should I float today? I am one of many wispy dusts in the sky You won’t remember me But you’ll remember our goodbye O dreamer, blow us all away I carry with me the dreams of others The wishes you send my way Your warm breath envelopes me As I wave farewell I will carry this warmth with me Wherever I go in this world Across fields, across streets Across seas, across skies I will fly And bring those wishes and dreams To whomever I meet next And I will tell them about you About what I’ve seen About this warmth And between their fingers, I’ll bid goodbye And bring their wishes to my new host I am a groundless seed My time in the sky may be short And I’ll spend it being tossed about But at least I can tell you about my travels Place me in your palm Twirl me between your fingers Watch me sway back and forth and float Into your hands Let me tell you what I’ve seen And you tell me your deepest desires and needs
