Sun Seeker

From the 'Palms toward the sun' prompt.

Flower petals of velvet,
delicate as young girls heart,
threaded with life, 
an invitation to the bee.

In the glossy morn,
where fallen stars of dew nestle 
glinting in the lilac sunlight,
a morning kiss before the night dies,

the flower waits,
spreading wide to welcome the day
petals open as the blossom turns
palms towards the sun to caress its warmth.
