The Sunflower Loved A Glowworm Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The Sunflower Loved A Glowworm

Rating: 5.0


Once,
the Sun flower fell in love
with a glowworm.

The tiny fly flew slowly
spreading tiny light
in the darkness.

The sunflower, even when
it adored the sun
kept in her heart
a love that is pure
for the glowworm of the night.

In the darkness
when the sun
went beyond the horizon,
she remained
dreaming of the glow worm
and hoped that
the tiny little firefly
will come and land
on the soft petals
of the sunflower one day.

She chanted a noble song
sang blessed melodies.

The fire of the heart
of the sunflower
burned in the silence of the night.

The sunflower
danced in the night
Imagining the beauty
of the glowworm.

One night, as
the sunflower slept
indeed came the glowworm,
landed on the soft petals
of the sleeping sunflower
emitting always light.

The tiny glow worm slept
on the soft petals
of the sunflower
that night.

Even in sleep
Glowwormgave the sun flower,
its light
Free of cost, out of sheer joy.

And the God above
saw it and smiled.
The angels sang.
The saints played on their harps.
