Plainly stated, plants grow toward sunlight.
That glowing orb Apollo comprises their whole world, their meaning for living, their life source.
They grow toward it day by day, reaching for a sun they will never hold
Yet they grow unabated, free.
"We should be so lucky."
How can you bear, little dandelion, to know you will never be united with that blooming sphere of fusion?
How can you stand the thought that it could some day disappear?
What do you grow towards then?
This is the thought that breaks me.
This is the thought that takes me away from rational thought into a wilderness where I am cursed to wander.
This... this is the thought that keeps my eyes from straying.
I cannot deny you have helped me grow.
You have nurtured me from the time I was a youth.
You showed me the world, you taught me to think for myself.
No matter what wrong you do me
No matter how badly you break me
No matter how much pain you cause me
I know deep down I could never stop growing towards you.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

This is a very poetic post.

This question seems wrong to me. Plants are "united" with the sun everyday. It's the sun's rays, direct energy from that "blooming sphere of fusion" that allows the plant the necessary capacity to grow. If this wasn't the case, if all plants didn't need sunlight then they wouldn't grow towards it in the first place. In fact, if plants did actually unite with the sun in the way i think you meant they would burn up before getting even remotely close enough to touch it. This is a very tragic and poetic idea it seems, because if the plant gets too close to the thing that gives it life, it will be burned up never to see the light of day again.
