UV Rays

You are my UV rays,

I bloom with you

as I die with your back turned

I resurrect with each halo sunrise

and share my nectar with your friends

then shed my pedals for sanctuary.

As my seedling falls to the earth

it burrows beneath my broth

and I sprout to bloom with you again.

Heavy clouds advance to steal away our eyes

and plummet to the earth I draw from the rain

though this may nourish me as much as you

my roots walk towards the light.

You are my UV rays,

I bloom with you
