Sunflower

There you are, finally.
Unfolding petal by petal
Amongst the breath and thorn,
Presenting your miracle.

Humble now
in the hills of the unknown.
You are alive
In an unforgiving landscape.

Challenged by the wind
Pulled by the moon
In love with the sun
You are choosing life.

Oh, bold flower of this world
You are changing more than you
Can ever know.
