The sunflower needs not to be told to seek the light. It simply does.
It reaches for the sun–though it will never reach it. a broken alleluia.
And the sun is pleased with it. It pours Its full spectrum onto the flower
And the flower in its reception, can Do nothing. But soften its soul
Slowly, swaying, saturated
By warmth
By kindness
From root to face and face to petals
From remembrance to gratitude and gratitude to joy
The flower is entrenched–
Deeply steeped by the colors of The Light
Even in the darkest of days, the sun never leaves And the flower always knows, Always remembers
