Sunflowers

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis

Today I let go and laid the flower down

Familial ghosts floating all around

This rose is wilted and dead

My fingers gripped it with dread

Its' thorns pierced my blood red

And fed the beast in my head… my head

Today I let go and laid the flower down

Closet doors unlatch

voicing dormant sounds

This rose I've held on so tight

And let its weight rule my life

Unclenching fists open wide

Spill out the secret it hides… it hides

How many years have I stood on this hill

Waiting for life to catch up with me, still

Golden sunflowers tickle my waist

Summoning me, let memories erase

Golden sunflowers' joy will replace

Golden sunflowers usher in grace

Today I let go and laid the flower down

Old buried bones ready to be found

I placed it safely on Earth

Into the ground for rebirth

The seeds will heal those to come

Knowing our hearts will be one… be one

How many years have I stood on this hill

Waiting for life to catch up with me, still

Golden sunflowers tickle my waist

Summoning me, let memories erase

Golden sunflowers' joy will replace

Golden sunflowers usher in grace
