A Beautiful multi-faceted gem balanced deep 
on the palm of my hand for me to enjoy. 
The gem and I interacted deeply. 
I thought I could plant this beautiful gem 
into the garden of my being 
as a perpetual flowering plant  
that would grow and flower in time 
BUT!! it flew off and left! Leaving no trail. 
It wasn’t a gem after all 
But a puffy fluffy dandelion!
