The Sunflower

In sunflower’s heart, a mystic dance unfolds,
A captivating illusion, nature’s secrets it holds.
Petals in a whirl, colours intertwine,
Mesmerising the beholder, a moment divine.

Golden hues beckon, drawing eyes to the core,
A labyrinth of patterns, enchantment galore.
Spinning, spiralling, an optical delight,
Nature’s kaleidoscope, an enchanting sight.

The centre’s hidden magic, a radiant surprise,
Whispering tales as the sunflower sighs.
A symphony of beauty, a dance of grace,
Captivating all who gaze upon its embrace.

In the sunflower’s head, a mystery untold,
A poetic masterpiece, forever to behold.
Nature’s gentle reminder, in this vibrant scene,
That beauty lies not only in what can be seen.

The Overgrown Garden

Yes, it’s rained a lot whilst we were away. A bit of work ahead now!

In verdant haven, once serene and tame,
The garden waits, now wild; nature’s wicked game.
Though daunting tasks of toil may lie ahead,
Remember, dear gardener, what lies unsaid.

With every blade of grass and blooming bud,
A symphony of life, where beauty’s flood
Shall rise from soil, and dance with vibrant hue,
In your hands, nature’s canvas, it’s true.

Embrace the labour, as raindrops kiss the ground,
Each droplet whispers secrets, lost and found.
With sweat upon your brow, and hands held strong,
Transform the chaos, let harmony belong.

For when the work is done, behold the sight,
A tapestry of colors, pure delight.
The overgrowth, now tamed, reveals its grace,
A testament to love and care: your space.

So fret not, weary gardener, nor dismay,
For nature’s rhythm guides you on this day.
In tending, you unlock life’s grand design,
And find solace in this garden of thine.
