Meeting a Sunflower During an Eclipse

By Salma Aksa

Walking through an endless woods, While feeling the wind touching my shoulders, Aware of the soon incoming eclipse happening I've got to be cautious for my surroundings,

All the silence left in the woods increases my anxiety, All the thoughts in my head started to erupt, The realization that i forgot where I was even going Confused as a lost deer finding their way,

Wandering around which felt like hours, Finally finding a garden-like place The willow trees dancing around, yellow sunflowers pollen gliding through the air,

I felt refreshed after my worries of the eclipse

For this one special flower that bloomed, A sunflower shining like a luminous star carrying The flourish touch of this place,

As I started playing with the sunflower, The moon had already blocked the daylight sun
