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
