The Seasonal State of Life

my sunflower

her spirit is as bright and warm as the sun on a glorious summer day;
her rays illuminating the souls of everyone she touches with an effervescent light.
her presence heals the broken hearts of the people who need it most.
it feels like you're running, lost in a crooked, tangled forest,
drowning in the frightening darkness surrounding you,
and she is the hope you desperately search for.
she finds you at your wits end,
driven mad by your own mind.
she takes you home and cleans your soul's festering wounds.
she gives you purpose to your undiscovered aspirations.
it took me a lifetime to find her, and in the end,
she is me.
