a dandelion,

blooming bright

worked so hard to 

grow and

produce

for its seeds to be scattered

 on the hard hot pavement

where it no longer grows


a bird,

soaring in flight

worked so hard to

survive and 

thrive 

for its wings to be shattered

on some dissonant glass 

where it no longer crows 


a storm, 

raining in sight 

worked so hard to 

clean and 

refresh 

for its particles to be poisoned 

on an abandoned plant 

where the chemical flows
