SONNET FOR A SUNFLOWER by annaka

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
