A Sunflower 🌻

A Poem

Sunflowers follow me 
On the street
On the balcony
Do they carry a message that I can't see? 

I soon forget 
I let myself get carried away
By the tasks that remain

What was hidden away
Never bloomed
The yellow turned brown
Yet gold still loomed 
Underneath

Rich and warm
Powerful, tall
What does it remind me of?
Oh yes! 

A sunflower🌻

This poem speaks to our budding potential and where we at times neglect or fail to see how powerful we are. It uses the metaphor of the sunflower as a symbol of the greatness that lies within all of us waiting to be accessed.

I believe we are often given signs. Here the sunflowers acts as a sign which shows up repeatedly, guiding us to recognise where we too are similar to what the sunflower represents.
