Ode to a Sunflower

In outer-space a strong
sunflower floats in orbit,
and a lovely astronaut
sprinkles joy
on this sunflower.

The sunflower’s seeds light up,
in a yellow spiral,
one by one,
rapidly!

Beams of light
radiate out from each seed,
and the petals pulsate with
power.

(Flashes of gold in the
realm of dark matter.)

These beams of light reach
the earth coated in a blanket of black,
cutting through the darkness;
zigzagging like lightening.

Oh, how the sunflower shakes its head like a
lion shakes its mane and showers
yellow pollen that
floats, drifts, and coats
the darkness ever so
gracefully with gold ,
like a rain that reaches earth.

A sunflower bringing
joy into this dark world!
