like flowers bloom

Stranded by the seashore
Trash stuck in its roots
Losing sense of what it's supposed to be
as flowers they bloom

Tossed by the wind,
Crushed by the feet
Of passersby - strangers
Yet like flowers they bloom

Picked when not ready
Sold for the pleasures of many
Distracted by its own beauty
Flowers still bloom

But flowers die too.
They wither; they stop glowing
When time has come, the flowers that bloom
Will bloom no more.
