Sunflowers

They say the veil is thin between the realms
Today, I find myself whispering
Thank you
We can never know our true impact
Our service, a smile for a desperate heart
Inspiration, a laugh that shifts the course of a day
A hug that changes everything
All reseeding, generosity of spirit
Receiving our love
We’ve returned to the daisy days of summer
Slowing and sheltering from the blaze
And yet, they open boldly
No petal restrained, following the sun
As though this day was made for them
And they were made, just for this day

Dedicated to Mikail, Saul, Danny, John and all our sunflowers
