Sunflower
By Lawrence R. Berger
Touched by the Gods
she carries her obsession.
Following the sunrise
with the fruits of her tears.
Hour by hour she followes her lover across the sky
Mourning him through the darkness
till he returns with the dawn.
and her name is Sunflower.
(c) 1999 Lawrence R. Berger

I love this image of the sunflower. I think your poetry has such terrific visual imagery in it. I have always loved and related to sunflowers, so when I read this poem, I can totally relate to the sunflower following her lover across the sky and mourning him when he is gone for the night. Just beautiful imagery! Peace and many blessings, Annie
