Sunflower
From the day of Her budding She has longed for the sun
Her being is drawn towards the light
The very core of Her aches for the life-giving warmth
In the night-time she hopes for a light to shine on Her
But all that shines is not the Sun
All that has warmth does not give life
So even though she may dance in the reflection and the distraction of the moment
She knows that it will pass
It will not beckon her to put down roots into the dark rich soil
She waits for the morning
She longs for Apollo that she might be made whole
Her face ever toward the sun, seeking the heat and life her Soul craves
Yet to see Her, to know Her is life-giving
The Sunflower is strength
A symbol of beauty and faith and life and vitality and intelligence
She already possesses that which she seeks, out There in the heavenly Sun
Orbiting Her eternally, yet never accessible
She does not understand that she is venerated like she does Apollo
She is longed for like the Sun
That there are those who turn and follow Her movements across their skies
Who mark their days by Her appearance and in Her leaving
Rest O Sunflower, put down your roots
Allow your blues, browns and golden facets to grace the green of your new growth
You are already everything you desire
Gawd! What a gorgeous picture!!! He’s so good!
He really is!
What an ornate way of describing my favorite flower. 🙂 good job!
Good evening my friend. I have been away doing grown up stuff today. Hate it 🙂
Dear Plato, life is just filled with that stuff we just have to do. I feel your pain:)
Hey friend! 🙂
Hey you;)
I have said some prayers
Thank you!
Such a nice Hello to Spring 🙂
Hey, friend. May today be warmth and light to you.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for following my blog. 🙂
Look forward to getting to know you.
Simply beautiful.
Hey. I don’t know why the thing keeps sending you to moderation.
Does your blog set up have a filter on it that disallows certain words? If so, perhaps “naked” fall in that category?
Maybe so cause it sent you to moderation just then. I will check on the filter. You know how innocent and sensitive I am. I like her work. If you don’t know her she is worth going to say hello to
K. I’ll stop by and take her a plate of cookies. With or without the pot, do you think? 😉
Not sure about her proclivities in that area. 🙂 she has some stuff about her daddy she did about the same time you wrre doing yours
I read only her last piece. It was really mature. I followed her. Will go back and read more.
Seems like a good soul
A true communion with the Green Ones! It makes me yearn all the more to see the greening begin! Beautifully written. Now I will listen, because your voice is also an elixir.
Yes, it is. You know P, Rod McKuen had SEVERAL bet selling albums where he just read his poetry. Keep that in mind. I wonder what you’d sound like — being the southern “gentleman” that you are (and I use the term loosely — grin) reading an album of Civil War letters than soldiers had written home… Hm… Oh, I know that’s way off your radar. but it’s an intriguing thought for me.
Especially if it had the word momma in it a lot 🙂
And darlin and babydoll 🙂
There you go being a smart ass again this morning already. And you say I can’t take a compliment. Seriously? Some people use those words and come across as insincere. Not you. That’s not who you are I think…
🙂 no mam just an old cultural habit. I have work witg a female judge in the juvenile court here since about 1998. Early on I was testifying and without thinking said “you know darlin.. ” she about threw me in jail. It was funny. She has threatened that a number of times over the years when I was cuttin up in court. 🙂
LMBO!!!
I have to work at formality 🙂
So I’m learning! Grin
You are most kind. Some times the kind and gracious compliments like that make me feel like Forrest Gump getting patted on the head by grown ups. But it does make me grin 🙂
Well done! <3
That;s lovely. And what a beautiful picture. I can see you’re getting inspired for spring planting. Soon now. Nite, Bubba.
