Image for the poem the wild sunflower

the wild sunflower

 
when i'm feeling weary  
in my mind's eye  
i see the wild sunflower  
it adorns the roadways  
& grows in the most  
uninhabitable conditions  
 
they blossom & bloom  
turning their faces skyward  
in praise of the sun god  
 
so it is with my soul  
i let my cares go  
raise my face  
to its giving rays  
as westerly winds  
caress & muss up my hair  
 
a wild child again  
without a care  
still in my innocence  
 
i am transported  
to carefree days  
when i chased the moon  
& captured stars in a jar  
nothing was impossible  
 
i'm weary tonight  
i star gaze & see  
the wild sunflower there  
smiling back at me  
waving her happy hello  
to an Earth bound being  
 
who longs for morning  
so i can hear  
their hum of music  
at sunrise  

delighted in the day  
another day to shine  
to remind me  
the natural beauty we are
