A Sunflower for Joy –Grunge art by kenne
My best clothes
hang useless
next to old
faded t-shirts —
KLOL Rock Radio,
Chicago Blues Festival,
Sprint for Life,
all hiding memories
not forgotten, only
reserved for reasons
I cannot explain
nor feel I need to —
memories shared
like sunflowers
with Joy,
the secrets
routine prevents us
from discerning.

My 2 thoughts: I like it. I think it’s beautiful. That’s what I thought after opening this likable image, and reading your share.
Lovely…t-shirt memories are a universal experience!
I love sunflowers. When I was President at Little Priest Tribal College in Nebraska a long time ago, there was a huge patch of sunflowers on the slope between the college and a corn field. The flowers were enormous and had a wild look like your picture of them. When the maintenance people on morning in
August came in early and whacked them all down, giving us the beautiful vista of the corn field, I mourned. Ah, “memories shared like sunflowers with joy.” A wonder set of words.
My tee shirt collection always brings fond memories of favorite places I have visited over the years. I wear them until they are thread bare.
Sometimes it’s nice to pull them off the hanger.
Thank you for the sun, the flower, being here.
