Adrift

“A duet of wonder and grief.”

Hello there! Welcome to Dandelion Seeds, and welcome back to our new series, The Words We Reach For.

For this community edition of Dandelion Seeds, I’m excited to be sharing one poem a week for the next four weeks, so that you can savor each line and spend a bit more time with it.

This week’s poem was shared by

Sarah Lammert

. It’s filled with images that I haven’t stopped thinking about since I read it for the first time — from a fern filled with light, to birds moving from branch to branch — and I hope it sends a little light your way today, too.

With love,
Candace
