Sunflower

Teddy.15

 

From a seed I grew 

and now I'm grown 

I find, I have a hole in my soul 

nothing in this world can fill it 

my heart has a constant headache 

my feet, they tap dance to the silence

silence and disbelief 

of what this world has come too

and my eyes?

closed until further notice

well I'm trying not to open them 

in hope 

it is all a bad dream

at least when they are closed 

I can see

 the beautiful sunflower 

that is me.

    A great message Teddy. When we can not bear to see what is outside us of change what is around us change and focus on what is in us. A wonderful thought in this poem.

      If you are afraid to open your eyes, then sleep longer so that you don’t see the hole in your tender soul so often. The best choice!

        Thank you so much, in truth I'm a woman frightened of nothing. I dislike what I am seeing on our world stage, a bit of positivity is much needed for all. 🌹

          Sometimes we just have to be with ourselves and realise we are ok as we are

          A good writing teddy

          And yeah things outside of us can upset us , at times ..

            Dear Teddy, you are not alone. I too am wondering with a heavy heart what will come next, but today, the sky is blue and I am concentrating on the beauty in our world. There are flowers for everyone if they care to look. Staying positive. Thank you for your beautiful poetry. πŸ’œπŸŒΉ

              A sad but beautiful poem, Teddy! The whole world seems to be one big mess right now, with the wrong kind of people being elected to lead their countries! I seem to be saying this a lot lately, but we live id dangerous times!

              • Teddy.15

                You said it perfectly, far better than I can, I dread looking at the news now. Big hugs to you and Susan dear friend. Thank you 🌹

                That beauty that is within you Teddy shines out through your words.
