Childish Valentine

In late December one tall dandelion
Gone to seed glows in the sun
At the dead center of the garden
 
How do such things happen
Inconsequential to millions
But the first thing I see
 
Its round head of white hair
Hoisted above brown leaves
Angled for take-off
 
It really shouldn’t be there
Yet everything’s been prepared
For the right breeze

Something about it
Heading for childhood
All over again
