Sun Petals


Bring me then the plant that points to those bright
Lucidites swirling up from the earth,
And life itself exhaling
that central breath!
Bring me the sunflower crazed with the love of light.

~Eugenio Montale

  5. Such a beautiful image, and a wonderful poem, but truly, I must be honest, just the sight of those words - sun petals - under your name on my blogroll just made me so happy. It is oddly cool here this morning, and those words - we've spoken of words! - seem to have magic, seem to weave a spell. I am sure warmth will find its way back.
