The Sunflower has the meaning of "Loyalty" it is also the "Happiest" flower, one never knows what is behind a face. I dedicate this poem to all the homeless animals.
Field of Prayer
Standing in the breeze reaching out,
Faces to sun for heat,
Lost in the field among the sprouts,
Yearning seeds fall to feet.
Cool evening shadows cast sorrow,
Yellow heads bow and fold,
Praying that maybe tomorrow,
They will be picked to hold.

I love the references to how the flowers are lonely, in a way, yearning for someone to "love," should they be picked. A beautiful analogy for our own lives, at times.
Christine,what a nice metaphoric poem. In fact we are all waiting for the sun to ripen us. For every one comes his turn, this is why sunflowers turn with the sun. Emile
What a beautiful write to those homeless animals Christine. We adopted one and she thinks she is a child probably because we treat her like one, thank you for sharing.
Sunflowers. The stately beauties that loom above their brethren in majestic array. I see from this poem, they have picked your heart. Nature. The field that offers poetic inspiration to all. Beautiful write. I love it. Jon Michael Willey
