Half-Spent Wishes

Dandelion in the spring,  
half your wishes spent;
carried off on tattered wing,  
astride hope’s last lament  
 
purchased wind that wanting bought,  
secured upon dead air;  
were they wasted without thought,  
dispensed without a care?  
 
was each plucked with great concern,  
did you and Love conspire?  
placed in hands that upwards yearn,  
where action meets desire?  
 
gently to the earth I blow,  
down where all the wishes go
