Emotional depth within sunflowers and the Roots of Perception

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“Sunflowers seek the sun, yet their strength lies in their unseen roots. Depth isn’t just what we see—it’s what we feel.”

A close-up painting of a sunflower with vibrant yellow and white petals radiating from a dark center, symbolizing warmth and positivity.

Whether in a tree or a sunflower, with eyes closed or open, color there or gone, roots are the traveling wonder with emotional depth.

~Kerri-Elizabeth~

Depth perception colored or not
Precision and emotion, traveling wonder
Emotions spill upon a silently colored moment
Stillness presents depth with or without the amazement of color
Can you see beyond your vision
Where depth is found by the distance a root grows
Surrender your vision to your heart, where emotional depth and perception truly intertwine
Where emotional depth perception sets you apart
How deep do your roots grow
Where are your roots and which way did they go
How deep have they grown
A tree does not say, this way
It is after the storms where depth is gained
It was in the heart where emotional depth perception remains

  1. I absolutely fell in love with your glowing sunflower painting! Usually, sunflowers are bright yellow, but this one has an undulating glow. The subtle color shades and warm and cool interplay just grabbed me, Kerri.
    Your sweet poem reinforces the beautiful concepts in your painting. Yes! Feelings grow and glow below the surface. Thank you for sharing your beautiful heart, through writing and brushstrokes!
