sunflowers & daydreams by Anna Kraisinger

I watched a lot of sunrises during the pandemic. Did you know that plants tend to face towards the light? It's called phototropism. This poem is a tribute to that indescribable feeling I felt in that time. That you cannot change what winds and rains may blow you, you can only reach towards the sunbeams. The moments of joy that I remember are very much the small things that gave me the hope to move forward in this dark time, things like sunrises.
