Oblivious to the sun

As solar slips to slumber
Night closes the day

Softly kissing a flower
Gathering pollen

Dark eyes, bright at birth
Precious little girl of mine
Black eyed Susan, light

Glowing petals rise
Uplifting natures buffet
Dining in midflight

See the colors bright
Bees and insects all alight
Then they all take flight

Dressed to sparkle in sunlight

Together catches your eyes

Arms stretched out to catch the sun

Perching on flower
Extracts the golden nectar
A new plant is born

Petals spread like arms
Reaching toward the sun above
Thanking its creator

Daffodils awake
The sun arising on high
Heralds a new day
