dandelion wishes

Her eyes danced with anticipation when she came across a field of dandelions. The little red dress bounced as her walk slowly turned into a run. She had always dreamed of making a wish inside this forest. The wind played games with her hair as it tossed back and forth. This place had become her secret sanctuary since childhood and she loved everything about it. Fresh air was offered to every space of her brain that is usually occupied by anxiety and fear. 

Her words reached the clouds as she whispered her thought out wish. More than anything, she wanted to be sought after and to experience a lasting love. After her request had been spoken she blew each strand with one breath and watched the floating artwork fall.

She closed her eyes and crossed her fingers that she could bring the answer to her wish to the place she was standing. Maybe one day she would have a hand to hold in this lonely world.
