Roots

When the sunflowers gather
Around my grave
Let the roots run deep
If only to save
Those eyes of mine; far from free,
Closed forever
Yet willing to see.

    Even your short poems* are like well-articulated essays/articles to me. They have a great depth and many stimulating points, and must be read over and over again to grasp the full meaning.

    *Pardon me for my limited knowledge of poetry forms.
