living now open as I do

living now open as I do
unfurled and belling parachute
or compound sunflower
wide and waiting to ripen

hard to mistake
flaming silk or framing petals
billowing or nodding with wind
for something other than readiness

rooted or sailing, I will
coast to touch down,
or ease into bloom
my face following the sun honestly
while heart enacts wind

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    Like this one lots, the wording feels just right.

  2. nice one! sun flowers smile at the open skies, waving in full bloom….difficult to concern those smiles!

  3. difficult to conceal those smiles…I meant to say but my stammering fingers undid me!

    • Hey–remember, we like those stammering fingertips that tell all. I kind of like the idea of having a smile that is difficult to concern…sounds quite poetic!

  4. I love that your heart is the producing of wind, movement and melody toward sunlight ! Lovely ~Thank you Friend ~`Deb
