Border control.
naturemortalitysolitude
Border control.
I am dandelion.
Beautiful
In isolation.
In abundance
An overflow
Of stems and leaves
Fighting for the right
To survive.
Taking over your
Carefully tended borders
Breaching all control.
Stamp me out,
I will grow back
In a different space.
A weed
But still a flower.
Relocate me
Watch me grow
To seed.
Blow,
Breathe out.
Kick me with your
Leather boot
And I will scatter.
Watch me float,
Spin and twirl
Pretty as a windmill,
Free to go
Where so ever
The wind
Will take me.
Stop me if you can,
I am many,
Legion,
Dandelion.
A weed
By any other name.
