Flowers

When flowers sense the sunlight

their head turns in that direction

to absorb all the energy in the world

 

I, for one

Cannot turn flowers heads

More weeds grasp my appeal

 

I don't know what I am. Maybe

the moon, which only knows at night

how it really feels

 

But I guess, sometimes

The weeds staring in my direction

are flowers deep in their roots

 

Masked by their prickly exterior

Nobody seem to realise

Their insides matter
