My favorite flower. Image © 2011, Karla Dorman

They pop up, first one, then another, then more and more, until the fields are slathered in color. Bright yellow bursts of sun come down to Earth, light on fuzzy stalks to dance to tunes belonging to the wind. My feet hear. They keep time with my heart, which is in love: if happiness has a shade, it has to be the cheery, open faces of sunflowers gladdening the world. © 2011, Karla Dorman (9/24)

At times as a child I would actually fear the sunflowers only because of the height they would grow to towering over me but as an adult I love the sight of them.
