African Violet

African violet in a painted pot
sits on the sill of a sunny window;
sheltered, protected and admired.

Dandelions in the yard beyond the window
multiply with ungardened abandon
and lift their ragged heads;
bold faces turned, exultant,
toward unadulterated light.

No one admires the blossoming of dandelions
except, perhaps, the violet.
