Do you have sunflowers
in the palm of your hand?
That sounds a bit amiss,
but in my hand they are field
of tiny sunflowers with a sky
as blue as blue can be with
radiant sun above, white puffs of clouds to ride the breeze.
In this handful of nature is
the life that sunflowers offer
to the bees to the birds,
surrounded by a frill of petals,
as bright as the sun.
So if you have sunflowers
in the palm of your hand, life will
be yours to share with me and thee.
“We’re all golden sunflowers inside.”
~ Allen Ginsberg
