Sunflowers
This is a mosaic created with tiles that can be found
in the underground subway station of Hisaya Odori
in Nagoya, Japan. It is much larger than this; larger than
life and I love it because I have to say that my favourite
flower is the sunflower by sight!
*
Even though it has no lasting impression of smell.
The sunflower has always put me under its spell.
Its strong single stem, that holds its heavy head so
endearingly upright; without swell.
*
The seeds that are sprayed upon its nurturing way,
spreads happiness and encouragement for the
common passer-by on their way.
*
At night it tilts its head, to ground itself in a peaceful
sleep. Mother Earth germinates the seeds, to reproduce
more beautiful flowers for us to retreat.
*
And come morning again, it raises it head to the sun,
and smiles its glorious greeting, to each and everyone.
