splashes of yellow
first sunflowers of the year
heralds of summer
splashes of yellow
first sunflowers of the year
heralds of summer
as flora shrivels
without rain or watering
my soul without Love
heading home in storm
way hidden by driving rain
sun sets beneath clouds
sunup to sundown
the longest days of the year
chained to joyless work
rituals and rhythms
people we take for granted
until we lose them
