My drive took me to Malvies
Along a rough French road
A perfect sight delighted me
Natural sun dials stood in rows

Fields of velvet brown eyes
Looking at the sun
Gently swaying in the breeze
Halos circled every one

Like soldiers to attention
In unison with each other
The sunflower community
Are like sister and like brother

Yellow sunshine petals
Gold coins in the rough
Famously inspired
In pictures by Van Gough

My hair flowed in the wind
Breathing in the freedom
Happy faces welcome me
inviting me to see them

Sun dials follow shadow
Sunflowers pursue the sun
Gazing up to the sky
Absorbing life they've won



Inspiration:

Malvies is a very small village community near Limoux in the South of France.  I spent many Summers there and when in season, the drive takes you through amazing fields of Sunflowers which are a spectacular sight.
