The Forest and The Sunflower

Nature is magical; pure bliss
The luxurious green trees of all shapes and forms 
And the illuminating speckles of dust 
Flowing through the mysterious sun rays 
As if playing their own musical notes 
Hoping to find their way 

Like how you and I found each other?

Often when I look at the trees
I wonder about all the things they’ve seen
And the journeys they’ve had 
A thousand stories to tell? 

You and I are one in the making. 

Life is much like finding your way through the forest
A maze full of chances; expected and unexpected 
Sometimes you have the answers,
The path a straight line ahead 
And sometimes you are lost; no answers, no whispers 
Just long empty silences; ambushed?
Till you see the canopy; a star shining so bright 

Hope. Belief. Love.
You. I. Us.


As you walk deeper into the crevices of the forest 

The familiarity in the strangeness is astounding 

You can hear the stream flowing and the tiny whirlpools talking 

The little homes become evident 

Nests and spider webs and the cocoons 

Fireflies guiding you through the darkness 

There is immense and unbounded warmth 


Your embrace!


However, some views are extra special; breathtaking, spectacular!

When your heart skips a beat 

And breathing is no longer relevant; the pattern breaks 

This “disturbance” is enchanting! 

You can feel your heart smiling

And every fibre of your existence dances with joy 

Divine happiness! 


And that’s how I felt when I saw 

The Sunflower!


A rare sight

So pure, so beautiful 

It was perfect and it wasn’t 

Everything I wanted and even more 

In that moment I knew my absolute truth 

For it was the creation of love! 

And that’s what they are


Your eyes! 


When I look into them 

My heart skips a beat 

And I feel abundant warmth 

In a moment I live a thousand lives

And that’s what they are

Your eyes!

They are the forest and the sunflower! 



- dedicated to the one who taught me that love is mostly patience. It is ever growing, challenging and most importantly grounding. My green eyed nerd, I love you more each day!
