Battle Flower
In the midst of war a sunflower grows
fertilized with tears and soldiers souls
There it stands…as a prophet of old
brown centered with petals of gold
...near the clearing battle’s smoke…
surely a symbol of peace and hope...

(Inspired by Steve Brandenburg’s
picture of a sunflower grown
in Iraq from a seed
that came from Kansas, USA
carried by a US soldier.)
