Once in a while
A flower blooms
Sprouts, shouts
In a dismal, dark room
And it makes
Me wonder
What if (just what if?)
It's birth hadn't been such a blunder
How would things be different?
How would that flower's life
Have been altered?
Relegated to obscurity from the first click of the knife
Was that flower given
That situation
Because it was able to handle it?
Was it meant to be a sensation?
And then I think
What if it was just random
As trivial as a grain of sand
In the midst of the worldwide kingdom?
Trivial, random
Sensational, remarkable
I'm just don't know
Which way I'm meant to turn the table
