How a sunflower smiles in anxiety until it's sun greets it with warm and embraces it making it forget it ever was forced to wait.
To wait while the moon shone through the dreary clouds.
The cold moon giving it chills until it finally reaches time for the warmth of the beautiful sun to return.
It smiles knowing it will soon meet the sun again and feel this comforting warmth.
It spends the night reminiscing on the times when the warmth was there.
Just the reminding thought makes the flower feel twice as warm under the darkness of the moon.
Behind the shadow of its loneliness.
