I saw the flower when I was boy
plucked from the earth in a moment of joy
it was dead in a weekend, it withered away
all its petals discarded
I saw them decay
what opens the sky, broken ablaze
burning alive to the end of the days
we take from the soil much more than it gives
so watch it grow weak for as long as it lives
and how does it live
dry up the ocean or swallow it whole
you chew through the jungle and pick your teeth with the bones
a mandate from heaven delivered from on high
what struggles to breathe most certainly dies
I saw the sunset when I was still new
it means so much more now than I ever knew
I saw the flower
