SONNET FOR A SUNFLOWER
by annaka
When depression begins to take its toll
I scavenge for earth, sun, and seed
I let it take root starting in my soul
A sunflower is all I need
Some days I can't get out of bed
But those are becoming rare
I have planted a meadow of sunflowers and let them spread
I look inside myself for happiness to bear
In the AM when the sun don't shine
I look to the window sill for a reminder
That I am lovely, I am divine
Like a sunflower, I make this world brighter
When darkness yields all the power
All it takes is one yellow flower
