In Seeds of Sunflowers
Between the fibers
of this page,
an ancient magic
has been laid
Pressing leaves
with mystical power,
and kissing the corners
to grow sunflowers
Cherish a word
a wish or rhyme,
making it grow
deep in your mind
Taking the letters
that are your divine,
weave them into
a master design
Make your own mold
and pour yourself in,
to not be yourself
is the greater of sins
Feel the earth
beneath your feet,
build your own kingdom
a heartlands retreat
With the gift of hands
you can shape a world,
and the only barrier
is what your mind holds
Sowing the seeds
you collected through life,
tend them with love
they will flourish with light
Dream with your heart
and ever be true,
the universe will gather
just to know you
After searching for faults
letting pride blind my eyes,
I stripped off all masks
to soar a blue sky
Now planting my seed
with love in my sight,
I wish it to flourish
a precious long life
Covering these pages
in tendrils sublime,
Thus binding loves magic
I send it through time
