Black Eyed Susan

I see many things
Happening
When I look at this flower.
I see the growth from June
That led to these
Brilliant
Yellow
Flowers in
July.
I see the butterflies
And bees
And goldfinch
Who taste it’s
Magic
In ways I never will.
I see the humidity
And the heat
Propelling
It into reproduction.
And the cicada song calling it
To release
It’s seeds for the future.
Soon
The crickets will lull it
To sleep..
The light will change to match the flower..
And fall will paint the earth around me
In a very different
Splendor
Of color
And weather.
