SUNFLOWERS OF LIGHTS
FRANCESCA PATITUCCI
Sunflowers of light
I saw a field of sunflowers
under the immensity of blue skies.
Soon the sun will warm them
until they burn
but the splendor will quench their thirst
at sunset...
They will be alive
and harbingers of the colors of gold
of life which, in spite of everything
luxuriant unfolds
on our smiles.
They are sunflowers of light
keepers of our steps.
