I am so pleased and grateful to share my poem The Lone Sunflower that was published on Spillwords Press, thanks to Dagmara K., Director of Development and team for this honor and continued support of my work.

My grateful feet walk the besieged earth.
I breathe in the cool fresh air with raindrops pouring down on me.
Tears of
joy and sadness
held simultaneously
Imprinted in my heart.
Love pours forth
for the dying,
Arms open amongst bleeding hearts and tortured souls whose mother never taught them.
Love’s promise
is to
restore faith in humanity when we’ve been shaken and
given up all hope,
but how?
I would be so grateful if you would go here to finish reading my poem at Spillwords Press.
Thank you so much for taking time to read my poem. I was hiking and stumbled on this sunflower that sat solo and invited me to pause to reflect and of course my mind wanders to the questions that none of us can make sense of but I continue to ask. I waited for answers and this is what came.
Once again, thank you truly Dagmara K. and your team that works tirelessly to publish beautiful poetry.
Blessings,
💖
Cindy

Lovely poem, and so relatable, Cindy.
““I am God but I have no answers”.
Surely, God should know but instead I hear
“Save your breath,
stay the course;
Anger never conquered battles fought”.
That’s what I feel is His answer to me sometimes. That’s when I quit talking to Him for a while and just save my breath. I believe in Him don’t get me wrong, but I think sometimes He tells me to just shut up. So I do. I go silent. Thank you for the poem, sweetie.
Oh so glad you like it Cherie and thanks for sharing that with me.
I hear you and get you loud and clear Cherie. Sometimes words fail although we try and we learn trust and faith. Truly thank you for you kind comment my friend! 💖
First of all Cindaaaayyyy, that is a gorgeous sunflower and naturally you would be the one to find it standing alone in all of its awe and wonder. 🌻 I love this:
Love’s promise
is to
restore faith in humanity when we’ve been shaken and
given up all hope,
but how?
Oh, how that speaks volumes to our hurting world right now. 💖 You captured the spirit and essence of our emotions right at this moment in time. Thank you for an empowering poem today my dear. You rock Mommy Nature!!! 🌷🌲💐🌳🌹🌵🌼🌿
Ohhhh thanks my dearest Daaawwwlink Kym. I know I was soooo exdcited when I saw it and it was looking a bit bedraggled when I did like me 😂😂 but going closer on it gave it a perkier look.. unlike my face 😂😂 I have to stand back with that one. hahha.
Glad you liked those lines my friend as I know it’s pretty universal. I’m glad you liked it so much and wait till you see what I captured last night on my hike. Well, the pics not that good but it was exhilaratinThanksnaks so much for being such a rock solid friend!!! 💖💖
Honey chile…you always have me pumped up. 🥳 I can feel your high-intense energy through your words. Not many people are like that and you have such a natural way of drawing us into it. 🤗😜😍
You connect with us so well, and I am looking forward to those photos you snapped last night. 📸 It’s awesome how much you discover on your hikes my friend! Now, THAT’S how my Mommy Nature rolls!!! 🌞🌷🌳💐🌵🌲🌹🌿🌺🦋
You are cute and make me laugh Honey chile and I love Lamittan’s Holy Catfish and I miss him. Hope all is ok.

Ohh Cindy your poem is so deep, on many layers..even your conversations with God, I found very stirring and painfully human…You capture the depth of sadness and despair, the weight of unanswered questions, the hope that is fading like the petals of this last sunflower. Powerful work Cindy…I was very moved.
Your words heartfully touch me and I’m grateful for them Karima!
I love what you said here:
“ou capture the depth of sadness and despair, the weight of unanswered questions, the hope that is fading like the petals of this last sunflower.”
