myriad

purity 

should start with thought

travel through voice

manifest into action

extend to others

like the spores of a dandelion

landing where the breeze calms

 in fertile soil to nurture growth

or on the back of a mangy animal

what does it matter?

all I can do is make a wish 

with eyes closed 

 lips pressed together

use my deepest breath

and exhaust the stem of its seed

scattering its genetic code to new territory
