The Great Plains of Kansas

For too long it seems
I've been lost in suspension
Like a dandilion
Blown across a rolling plain
The placid visage
Keeps getting to my head
Yet together we float
Dotting the sky like tiny angels

Destination unsure
Expectation was our place of birth
Light hitting every hair
With the wind pulling us skyward

Caught in the currents
Presumption mixed with passion
Musing forever onward it seems
Never content with the atmospheric home

Unless a seed falls to the ground and dies
It will never live
