“what is it with you and sunflowers he asks

i point to the field of yellow outside
sunflowers worship the sun i tell him
only when it arrives do they rise
when the sun leaves
they bow their heads in mourning
that is what the sun does to those flowers
it's what you do to me

- the sun and her flowers”
― Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers

“I notice everything I do not have
and decide it is beautiful”
― Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers

“Love looks pretty on you. Makes you soft, tender, proud.
Makes you sit up and take notice. Gives you a home to set
down your things.
What a blessing it is, to have music and dancing and poetry.
What a gift it is, to look at someone and say,
I’m so happy to have found you—at last, at last, at long, long
last—you’re here.”
― Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

“what is stronger
than the human heart
which shatters over and over
and still lives”
― Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers
