Flowers so Close to Concrete

Where the roots
meet the road-
Is a blossom,
A bloom,
Near the sear
Of hot asphalt.

It inspires,
While it
Transpires.
And lives
Simply,
To die.

All the while,
We sit and watch,
And pass it by,
We don't realize
That we all
Live a lie.

Life is cruel they say,
That is only true
If you make it.
Feel the breeze
Brush your skin,
And fill with ease.

Today is fleeting;
Keep living for tomorrow's sake.
Face the sun, your own flower.
Chin up, eyes bright.
Sense the warmth,
In dying light.
