A Sunflower for the Theatrical

How do you create meaning from nothing

How do you conjure up words that sting

Like trying to describe sour

Or giving someone a flower

You know it’s possible

You just don’t know how 

Or where to begin

Or what

So I will start with a sunflower

A yellow flower, that spends hours

Facing the brightest thing it knows

Natures optimist

I’m no botanist

But did you know that sunflowers

Will face east until the sun arrives

Always striving

For the light

And I like the message that this entails

But this goes deeper than the surface

I am going to go off the rails

And give up on saving face

I want to be the human version of a Sunflower

I want to surround myself with Sunflowers

I want to be showered

In sunshine,

And spend my hours

In starlight,

Waiting for mornings light

So even when it seems like there is nothing

Just know that nothing has meaning

Nothing can at least become waiting

Waiting for the rising

Sun to come

Because who wouldn’t want to become

The human version of a Sunflower
