Dandelions in the Wind: An Open Mic Collection of Original Songs - Volume One

By Ben Maestas

Dandelions in the Wind brings together 35 original songs in a single, beautifully accessible lyric collection; created for musicians, singers, storytellers, and the Aesop's Adventurers community.

These are the words behind the music: folk-ballads, blues pieces, spoken-word anthems, modern parables, and heart-rooted acoustic poetry. Each lyric is formatted for easy reading and performance, making this book an open invitation to interpret, sing, adapt, and bring the songs to life.

Written across years of personal journey, spiritual reflection, humor, grief, rebellion, and healing, these works carry the rhythm of lived experience. Some pieces are soft as prayer, some burn with fire, and others laugh in the face of darkness but all of them were crafted with the hope that they might be sung, shared, or simply held close.

Whether you're a musician looking for meaningful material, a performer seeking new voices to carry, or a reader who simply loves poetry shaped like song, this collection offers a window into the heart of a growing creative community.

A lyric companion for the wanderer, the brave, and the becoming.
