MY DEAR SUNFLOWER

MY DEAR SUNFLOWER

Can you grow in the dark,

Or do you need a light?

I will see on a lark

If you grow in the night.

The light grows dim.

Shadows take the day.

I can see you,

Standing up to pray.

Your arms spread out wide.

Your face to the moon.

You never need to hide.

It will be the day soon.

FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD

Somewhere ..   Photo by David Soar

I love this picture.
It brings many images to mind.
An isolated cabin somewhere on a rise
of land near a small body of water.
Darkness is surrounding the cabin
but there’s a light inside.
Smoke is drifting upward from the chimney.
Someone is home.
Who lives there?
Why would someone want to live
far from the madding crowd?
Does the person ever feel lonely?
I don’t see a car.
How does this person travel?
I want to peek into the window.
Should I?
