Saved by the Sunflower


A very strong storm was arriving,

there were large black clouds coming from the east,

strong gusting turbulent winds threating to snap everything,

severe down poring of flooding rain,

as if the clouds were crying out in pain,

it did not seem there would be anyway to save the flower garden,

nothing could survive this unannounced exploding of nature,

this seemingly uncontrollable outburst,

something, maybe everything was going to be destroyed,

this day turned in to this night of hell,

the rain, the wind, the flashes of lightning,

this violent death would not be stopped this time,

then a small voice could barely be heard,

at first it was ignored, flicked away like a mosquito,

the voice did not give up though, once again it cried out,

once again it was ignored, brushed aside,

the voice continued gaining strength, it refused to be shut down,

the creator of the storm suddenly took a step back,

looking down to see where this voice was coming from,

it was emanating from this one lone sunflower,

it was the sunflower that had been given the name Perly,

Perly would not, could not be denied as she screamed out,

leave this garden oh evil storm, I will not except the outcome,

the outcome that you predict will occur, we are fighters,

we will never give in to your senseless urges,

please wake up and hear my plea for sanity,

the storm started to weaken, slowly at first, but continued

gaining momentum loosing it's grip on this act of violence

until finally secumbing to this cry of desperation from

the little sunflower. Gradually, the wind stopped blowing,

the rain stopped falling, the sun began peaking thru the clouds.

Perly Sunflower had saved the lives of all the other flowers

in the garden, and the life of gardens caretaker.

A plaque is now erected on this spot proclaiming the

bravery of this little sunflower that would not give in,

would not accept, would not cower away.

The caretaker of the garden professes eternal gratitude

and love for this brave creature of Gods doing.

Thank you Perly sunflower
