SUNFLOWER
May 25th, 2025
It all began beside the river.
Soft rushing water,
Golden light, stretched long,
Like our limbs against the earth.
Our hearts met the sky,
Trees and their branches,
Wise and dancing,
Watching us grow near.
All of life was listening,
To every word she spoke.
Her eyes caught the light,
Took the breath from my mouth
And went
down, down, down.
Deep into the soil of the Earth,
The seeds of us
Took root into infinity.
Hours passed, like poetry
Life itself made ink of our hearts
And wrote the first words
Of the most divine love story
I’ve ever known
