“Even in the darkest land, light finds a way to bloom.”
Beneath a sky of slumbering fire,
silent sunflowers awaken;
their golden and harmonious petals
seem like a reborn summer.
Each flower is a sun upon the earth,
a heart opened toward destiny;
a luminous hymn along the path
that forever closes itself to fear and shadow.
The green leaves sing of hope,
as though the world could still love itself,
and the soul might find peace within its temperance.
There is a light that shall never fade,
for life returns and rushes forth
wherever love desires to plant itself.
Oh flowers of the awakened silence,
guardians of warmth and tenderness,
you are the gentle writing
of time upon a grateful field.
And thus the work shines within the shadows,
like a garden that conquers suffering;
for wherever feeling still breathes,
even the night itself blossoms.
