Opening to love br Like a dandelion: br Tender, hopeful, fated. br Momentarily held together, br Certain to fall apart br At the first puff of wind; br To scatter far and wide br Forever changed. br The whole lost. br Re-formed only br When seeds germinate br In receptive ground. br Fragile but enduring. br Illusive. Compelling. br Will this be? br I fear so. br I hope so.
