Van Gogh’s Sunflowers in a Vase pose gallantly
on a backdrop awash in the colors of the sea
Smattering,
palette coatings of paints, mixed and smeared creating the portrait of my seed
For
my hand holds a beginning…
Dried,
weathered-grey and mottled, plucked from the sun star encompassing the
potager’s border
Face
upturned to capture the intense rays bursting to meet earth and soil
The
rendering of my seed vibrantly expresses the emotions of life…
Bright
and full of promise, as well as burnt and arid … wilting, waiting to be cast
into the ground, yes
But…pushing
against the earth heaped upon it, my seed labors to sprout and flourish
Emerging
with a deeper understanding of life’s spectrum
Until
then, the portrait remains as a reminder of the potential stored within us
Sunflowers are tall and strong; always facing the sun,
yet bowing their heads in humbleness
~ Missy
beautiful..and we all have so much potential stored within us ....
