Sunflowers Of October..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

our flowers of
October,
sunflowers in a row
standing tall

truth seekers, their
heads always move towards
the sun,
their only source of light
their god,

sunflowers in full bloom
standing straight
against the light of the
sun

October, what have you
brought us? death of a loved one.
who is the culprit?

soon and sooner, the sunflowers
will chant a name, and soon
this tragedy will be over.

sunflowers joys to our hearts
yellow and bright and huge
in death shall bring us seeds
for another beginning.....
