Flowers in the Vase

From the window, a few rays of sunlight,
Come in at a tilt,
Shine on the vase
All flowers are still dreaming,
Dancing after the wind.
They are suddenly pulled out,
Thrown in a trash can,
Petals falling, they cry,
For they lose the vase,
They feel the death.
They still donโt believe that,
โBeing in the dirt,
We ever grew, bloomed and,
Pulled the wind to dance withโ
One of them said again and again,
Which they laughed at until they die.
That flower is still saying,
โIn vase, we are neither dead nor aliveโ
โฆ.
