tilting toward the sky
thirsting for refreshing raindrops

sunflowers slowly wilt
wearily following sunlight

May the rain fill them...
ReplyDeleteMay it be so!
DeleteLovely, kiddo, We are having some rain here, after waiting so long for it. It is good, but not enough rain. Also, on the only road in and out of here, there was a huge landslide yesterday, closing the road from 7 a.m. till nighttime........a wake up call. They are doing construction, blasting away the cliffs........of course there will be landslides.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry,
DeleteI am sorry to hear about the landslide. One day that road will wash away and then what?
I hope that like the sunflowers, we too will someday be revived.
ReplyDeleteRains...So life giving... Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNice that the rain is coming here. Here as well we are getting some
ReplyDeleteMuch❤🕊❤love
Love the sound of tilting and wilting and then the revival thanks to the rain Beautiful
ReplyDeleteHi Truedessa - I was like the sunflowers last week ... wilting in the summer sun ... but now it's cloudy - perhaps some rain ... but England is England for its weather. Wonderful poem - Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteLovely ending, and thanks to the rain for reviving the sunflowers.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the rain can have them reaching for the sky once more.
ReplyDeleteMay the rain revive them 💜💜💜
ReplyDeleteYou've summed up our weather purrfectly.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your vacay.
Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of this poem, like sunflowers and umbrellas on top of each other. I’m so pleased the thirsty sunflowers got their rain in the end.
ReplyDeleteIt really shows how raindrops are anticipated for the sake of life. We in the tropics take it for granted while hoping for sunshine for most days! How are you True?
