This is in response to Sadje’s Weekly Photo Prompts on #Whatdoyousee

speed of lightening is

not fast enough

to reach

you

the sunflower

merely raises its

head and blessings pour

never have I asked

for the sky

but the

rainbow,

yes, let

it spread on

my window and shine

    So much depth in so few words.
    The shift from lightning to sunflower feels powerful and calm at once.
    “Never have I asked for the sky…” is such a beautiful thought.
    There’s quiet strength in this piece.
    It lingers softly, like a rainbow on the window.

    The sunflower lifting its head says more than speed ever could.
    And that rainbow spreading across the window — such a lovely way to end it.

    Brilliant imagery, Ma’am! As other commenters noted, I loved your juxtaposition of the calmness and storm!
