sunflower~

sunflower

 like the sunflower;

 with her crown turned towards the sun,

 her soul anchored in strength

 feeding on eternal light;

her scepter pointed to the sky. 

A/N: This one is full of metaphors :) I hope this gets to you <3

if

If the whole world was blind, who would you impress?

~Boonaa Mohammed

if

 if the world was blind

 would you still paint pictures of love?

 if the world was deaf;

would you still sing of hope?

a single shard

For Ziona

a single shard

 when will you realise

 that even broken shards of pottery,

 unfinished verses of poetry,

 unsung songs and

 unread stories

 are reminiscent of the potter,

 the poet,

 the composer and

 the author

 of your faith?

ocean

ocean

 when you feel hollowed out,

 remember that

 empty shells hold the ocean.

time

time

 trusting time is fruitless

 we either have too little,

 too much or

 none at all. 

father

my father 

my father showed me love:

 in the yellows of orchids,

 in the scars of a learning heart 

 he saw who I could be,

and not who I was.

mother

my mother

 my mother is behind the woman in me

 she is in the kindness of my heart

 but also in the fire burning in my eyes;

 she in the gold fillings of my cracked soul,

 in the silver linings of my dark clouds.
