The Sunflower Rises

Conquering new territories climbing up the stairway
new beginnings hanging on the edge of a dream
an empire arises from dark ashes flash petals catch one gem

Through honeycombed dewdrops softly spinning clear 
golden the sparkle upon your tabernacle silken touch
vision of deep beauty shines immaculate heart

Beholding rose gold sparkles
sugar coating light dazzling before the eyes
crystal sparks ignite rainbow gleams

Through a mist of tears travelling one picture 
everything shrinks in your shadow perfect
sunbeams warmly come alive

Touching clouds dancing with teardrops 
falling over an angel salted from the ocean
seagulls lament faraway distant overseas calls

(Unrhymed Tercet)
