When I was four
I saw the sun rise at dawn
It spread its rays
and soon began the day.
But then it drowned
and so did my light
Dawn to dusk
Awake to asleep
Impermanence crept
into my dreams
the blood in my heart pumped
through four corridors
the atria and ventricles
my hopes were floored
Little did I know
That life worked the same way
living to die
yet dying to live
A constant cycle
like time on a clock circles
No end to the tragedy
tick tock
and then it stops
-Blooming and Wilting
