both ways


now that you have seen both

tell me which is more beautiful


the sunrise or the sunset?


what was it that you felt when

the tight bud began to bloom


and what was it

when it started to wilt?


what did you feel when finally

the petals fell one by one

when the wind came

when each was blown somewhere else?


so shall it be between

being born

and being called upon

to take the last breath.


you are not dead yet

but somehow

you may anticipate.
