loss of love by summerfield

loss of love

love is storm and wind and tide,
all the tears your heart can hold,
but i look back after loss of love
and know the days were gold.
i see only shattered skies;
not a ray of light to find,
but i look back after loss of love
and sunlight blinds my mind.
songs were sung with words as young as May,
but in the midst of summer, winter came;
a chill blew out the flame,
now the words of haunted songs
ring as clear as they did then.
still i look back after loss of love
and learn to love again.
- from the movie "sunflower"

every time i see a sunflower, whether real or in photograph, this song comes to mind, as well as the image of sophia loren amidst an endless field of sunflowers. of course, it doesn't help that i have a sunflower arrangement right now, part of the office reception flowers that i had to recycle.
