All of which we fictionalize,
Hold far more truth, than we realize.
Dearly beloved sunflower so precious to me
I have seen your beauty radiate amongst the stars
An angelic spirit spreading her wings
Soaring through the cosmos with out stretched arms
Softly humming serene melodies
I have awaited countless days and many moons
Through intervals of sunshine and rain
Faithfully believing true love will appear in my view
I feel her presence constantly flowing in my veins
I have seen your reflection bathing in lily ponds
Flaunting vibrant brilliance that glows
For these are moments to fictionalize an eternal bond
Rapture intersecting our souls
Oh precious sunflower
Fasten me onto your glistening violet wings
With the crescent moon in our sight
Let us ascend unto a blissful flight
Singing in unison continuous melodies
What happens when dreams collide with fate
and you struggle to rationalize?
What about if everything burns up in smoke
and you are not able to realize?
What happens when you cannot find the time
being left only to fictionalize?
What about your ending beginning afterlife
away from what you can idealize?
