Silverpuff Blossom and Seeds — Image by kenne
When picturing a wildflower
I see the blossom
not the seeds.
Picture a dandelion
a pretty yellow wildflower
not named after its
annoying seeds.
Picture a silverpuff
a pretty yellow wildflower
with toothed rays
radiating star-like points
only to be named after its
beautiful seeds —
a secondhand blossom

Oleander Seed Pod — Image by kenne
Our oleander tree
nurtured seed pods for months,
whether it was its time,
or nights in the low twenties,
the pods have opened.
Let the wind blow
the seeds of the future.

“Life In The Seed Stage” — Image by kenne
Flower, flower
what were you?
Were you as beautiful then,
as you as now?
There you were, all alone
at the edge of life’s trail.
No siblings at you side,
no suitors flying around your crown.
My eye caught your beauty,
a halo in the sunlight
in a bed of memories,
ready to ride the wind.
