"Dreams by Bloom"

a bloom bleeds from a breeze of ice

and shiver shakes at a fading dream 

though what dreams has the bloom dreamt? 

the sun kissing pure baby sprouts, 

the moon holding weak withered stems,

the rain mending a petal’s breath

sweet dreams,

minutes till death 

a such little life having only dreamt thrice 

and still the innocent bloom freezes at the breeze’s scheme 

though what dying dream does the bloom dream? 

the wind carrying scattered seeds of life,

the stars singing the trees to sleep, 

the shadows guarding every flower’s tilt 

sweet dreams,

seconds till death 

a final breath drawn from a sudden ice slice 

and the bloom’s life froze forever under the lunar beam

though what dreams did the bloom leave undreamt? 

the ice melting to water the earth 

the cold warming by the rising dawn 

the breeze sleeping after a long, harsh night

sweet dreams Bloom,

moment of death
