Followed By The Sun

I drag my hands across the petals of the soft sunflowers.
The smell of freshness fills the air and the sun shimmering through the hills behind.
I feel a hot shot beam into my back as the sun rises above.
Kneeling down on my knees, I gracefully pluck the sunflower out of its moist soil.
I lay onto my back with the flower rested on my chest.
Watching the sun come up and over until it's full daylight.
I spot shapes made out of countless clouds in the air above.
Soft dainty petals carry a scent of calm.
Sunlight aiming towards the sunflower
like a baby chick following its mother
down a rocky narrow road.
