A dandelion seed
That’s what you are
Neither here nor there
Gliding gleefully
Flying ever so high
The current as your companion
Floating on the sea of life
I see you there and I’m smiling
As the sun shines upon your face
Listening to the birdsong of tranquility
Holding steadfast to the feather of peace
As the waves of contentment wash over your beautiful soul
Happiness abides within you
Carrying you to the ends of the earth
A heart so full of blissful wonder
A head so unaware of the passing of time
All the things that really matter
You’ve found them
Now hold on tight

Love it and its imagery!
I have less positive experiences with dandelion seeds. It prompted me to write this:
a seed
so fluffy and light
descended slow
a spiteful blight
it kissed my paint work
wet and pure
a hairy smudge
I must now endure…
