Will
God sees this determination,
Wind pushing the window
Slowly creaks on hinges
Toward the gray, empty yard
While yellow dandelion blossoms
Burst through the dead dry earthWill

Poem Commentary
I often wonder how it is that these weeds can push through the hardest ground and bloom a flower so brilliant yellow that the Sun is a tiny bit humbled. I called this, "Will" because this must be the vehicle that carries these flowers up through death to bloom where we do not or can not expect or understand.

- The metaphorical premise here is excellently done. The fulcrum levering between creaking hinges pushes at or between blossoms and earth. Such strength inside and invisible wind. This is a real winner in my book. "What more can; Will!" That's all I have to say here. Well done. A poet friend/ RH Peat
