Sunflowers in Fall

You don't cross my mind.

You live in it.

You planted your first seed at a strange time. 

It wasn't spring and it wasn't Winter

It was Fall. 

You planted your seed in the fall.

At first 

It wasn't fruitful.

But you planted yourself on good solid ground. Fertile ground. 

I resisted to water you for so long

I was such a lazy gardener but 

You won me over when you

Didn't blow away or wait until Spring

You were confident in Fall and

Nature was on your side.

Now it is Winter and you have survived this far. You are chest deep. 

Your limbs have stretched to my heart

And I think I do little to help you grow

I just don't move.

I'm just here whenever you need me.

Until Spring

In Spring everything blooms but you've already blossomed so I'll

Just keep watch over you and 

Watch you grow and possibly

Multiply inside me. 

You live in my mind. 

You always have.

And you just grow grow grow

And bloom bloom bloom

And I just watch and nourish you

Like you nourish my mind
