Poised and Prompted

Sunflower

Staring towards the sun,
I feel the warmth on my face.
Nothing else matters,
But those bright shining rays.

How perfect a life,
So simple and complete.
As I stare at the sun,
Dancing to the beat.

Of the wind as it blows,
And tries to knock me around.
I get swayed back and forth,
But I always hold my ground.

Then out of nowhere,
Someone comes to chop me down.
Now locked in a dark room,
Where I can't hear a sound.

I search and I search,
For those bright shining rays.
But all I am met with,
Is the room's cold embrace.

Then all of a sudden,
I look and I see you.
No longer am I alone,
In this cold and dark room.

Sometimes I'm afraid,
And I feel like I'm done.
But when I'm trapped in the darkness,
You are my sun.
