What is a Flower

This is an original poem I posted on another website as a FanFic poem.

What is a Flower?

What is a flower?

But a leafed-petal plant,

That blooms effervescently in the springtime,

And whither as snow settles down onto its delicate sheath,

Slowly drifting in and draining the life away.

What is a bird?

But a winged- feathered animal,

That flutters in the azure skies,

And fall into prey a stalking hawk,

Slowly diving into the chasm of death.

What is a human?

But a cruel-selfish biped,

That walks and spreads itself,

And sits on one spot,

Slowly dying on his meaningless throne.

What is life?

But an animated-loop cycle,

That accumulates infinitesimally until the end,

And terminates with sudden darkness,

Slowly running out of flame as time moves on.
