At that time

I am the sunflower basking

in the sunlight of my mother’s backyard
Surrounded by all the vibrant, lively flowers
It’s radiance I will always remember
The flowers made the backyard
my escape to expel my feelings
My mood would change at the
slightest touch of the cool, lavish grass
Pictures and pictures
of each and every flower
We laughed at my dad
there was no more space
on the camera roll
The backyard made that time bright
it made my childhood livid
so many adventures awaited me
However just like the flowers I grew

Yohana began to write poetry at a young age, but lost touch with it. Now she gets distracted with visiting her hometown of Eritrea and other various countries in search of the most delicious coffees.
