Dandelion Universe

You think the universe is vast,
that you are just a tiny speck
adrift in the void.
But the universe is limitless
and ever changing.
Every time you pluck a dandelion
you hold the sun, the moon, and the stars
in your hand.
The golden flower shines,
and the silvery puff ball 
is blown into a million stars
by a gentle breeze.
Everything becomes one
and we are the kiss of the universe
blown across time and space.
