Sunflower

I danced through a field of sunflowers
large and full and yellow
running against a deep blue sky
puffs of white scattered here
to remind me of the inconsistency
of nature
the fragility of time
racing by like the clouds
I watched as the flowers
reached
and so did I
though I did not know
what it was
I was reaching for, light perhaps
upon this awakening
the sky in me, the fragility of nature
the inconsistency of time and space
perhaps I danced through
the field of time
and discovered there
that I was
a sunflower
