Sunflowers of Sevilla

One of my most vivid memories during my trip to Spain back in 2007 was throughout our journey by car from Granada heading to Sevilla - both located in the Andalusian region which was once the crown jewel of the Islamic Kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula.

As we rode along the highway, we were greeted by the amazingly beautiful sight of the sunflower fields, which stretched for as far as the eyes could see. Too bad that my dinky Cybershot failed to capture the images nicely, as our car was moving quite fast and there were no proper area by the road for us to stop and take photos. (*Note to self: Next time, bring a bloody DSLR, idiot!)

But the image looks something like this:

But frankly, you just have to see it with your own eyes to experience how magical it feels to be embraced by such a surreal sight.

Macam jakun, okay!;P

Have a good day, people!:)

SUNFLOWERS OF SEVILLA
- by Elly Yusof

Sunflowers of Sevilla
they greeted me as I arrived
from afar
Oh, how they smiled
under the golden sun
and the endless sky
of Andalusia

Sunflowers of Sevilla
welcoming this broken
stranger
who's running away
from danger
as she basks in your wondrous beauty
in innocent wonder

Sunflowers of Sevilla
as you consoled me
in millions
with your deep green leaves
and cheery yellow tone
I realise in a magical instant,
that all my sorrow
are now gone.

'Muchas gracias y adios, mis amigas!
Hasta luego; en el tiempo futuro(tal vez?)'

As I exhaled my last sigh
for you,
Sunflowers of Sevilla.
