Did you ever watch a cottonwood fluff?
They fill the air
as a summer blizzard
clogging screens
blanketing lawns
Yet these are a study in pure surrender
Launched out from the source
to find a place unknown
powered along by a force unseen
which gives it value and purpose
to which it has fully given itself
Earth seems to hold no sway
as they drift and weave
Each carries a secret so hidden
yet so complete
and with such potential to change the world
When it finally comes to rest
it takes hold and grows
into a towering source also
A place of cooling refuge
for its weary neighbors
Did you ever watch a cottonwood fluff?
These little missionaries
You and I should trust as much
