Choose your spell

when days are stretched taut as strings-

when nights are purpled in turmoil-

remember that you wield

color of your sky-dome

blue as silent lake 

calm as palm of deep forest

or

grey-metal, sawdust of despair

in storm-drivelled clouds

or 

pumpkin-pixelled

coaxing sunflower spells

Sunflower by Grace

may you see field of tulips on your journey

as lone sunflower
falls 

i inhale incense
as sky scoops back predicted 

rain, surging life, silk-spun fragile 
as budding white tulip

you're not storm
chaser, but peacemaker

staying close
to family's roots, tilling 

zen-inspired garden,
beading memoirs-

and now, pilgrim's traveller
on journey 

home

Sunflower dreams during winter

Grace @ Everyday Amazing

Yellow petals stitched
    bewitched
By sun, a golden shawl
    I fall
for your charms
Lying in your arms
Tangled in honey kisses, no thorns
    to prick my knees
I am giddy as bee    
Bewitched, I fall (again), into your arms
