I'm not yet sure what's going to happen with this. It started life as just an exercise in iambic pentameter, using old ideas. I guess I was more concerned with getting the metre right than making it clear. It's about a storm passing over a field of sunflowers - hundreds of lizards emerged after the storm. I think I equate that passage to optimism after the storm, even though it's certain there'll be another along in the future. Maybe that's where it'll go. Thanks for the comment :-)
