Sunflower Chatter: Ode to Meditation

I heard them chattering to each other

All the sunflowers growing in fields upon fields

They waved and danced and swayed

As if to music, but it was each other they loved

They did not stop, the sweet chatter went on and on

It was a sound I wished would never stop.

The psychic had asked us to go to a setting

In our minds where healing takes place

I leaned back and relaxed and let my higher self

Take the reins and give my mind space.

A new picture emerged of a sunlit life

Where beauty abounded, and there was no strife

A peacefulness fell all about the huge fields

As the little faces smiled I felt my heart yield.

Each sunflower held a dear face in its light

With petals surrounding their wee smiles just right

Their countenance glowed with an essence so sweet

And my heart swelled with love with every heartbeat.

They asked if I would listen and so I answered slow

Well yes, of course I’d try very hard from my life down here below

But they shook their heads and they waved their leaves

Said, You don’t understand! that you can come up here and sing

And help your soul feel glad… see anytime, just open your heart

We all will be right here, hold our hands and make your peace

You have nothing child to fear!  Then I heard His voice,

Was truly clear, it felt like summer rain, it fell upon my ears

Then whispered, with a touch that took away my pain.

The sunflowers took up a chatter, like no other I ever heard!

They belted out their little songs, and their petals all unfurled

They laughed, they cried, they came to me with a Love I’d never known

And I knew that God had healed my soul, and one day I’d go Home.
