Sunflower

Spreading the bright sunshine of hope and love in this world. To stand with poise and confidence as the Sunflower does.

Sunflower

The emerald green and tuscan yellow

The eyes sweet amber

and nectar to savour

standing tall in the fields 

calling all the birds and bees

giving cheer,giving hope

asking the lord of sunshine

to bathe the world in its golden pine

sometimes smiling, sometimes wilting

yet steady and confident

facing the sun with morning gleam

swaying with the wind 

to welcome or bid goodbye

wonderfully captured in a frame

Marvellously drawn against the azure skies

borders deep brown with golden flavour

O lovely ring of flames..

[An owl on the moon]

This is filled with such beautiful, radiating light. How I love sunflowers in my garden, and you capture so well their burning wonders. Every line is lifting life.
