Goldfinch & Seed

Picture taken by me, Katherine J. Krein, in my garden.

This Goldfinch found its pot of gold with tasty treats
Sprinkled in.
When the sunflower has lost its golden petals its seeds
Are revealed.
Black shells cover the seed, so shells are cracked and littered.
Sunflowers reliably leave behind seeds.
The following summer new sunflowers will arise from these.
They truly are a gardener's friend.
Goldfinches will reliably return 
To find their favorite food.
The brilliant sun continues to reward this golden bird.
The gardener is rewarded with glorious reseeding flowers.
The sunflower humbly follows the sun as it moves across the sky.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
