sometimes I wonder if it all even matters
like,
how come a flower blooms
on a hill
in an abandoned land
after all that work to grow
just for it to be seen
by nobody

then I remember
the sun sees it, though
giving it light
the bees and butterflies
giving the plant the needed pollen
the doe
the flower becomes food for
along with it's stem and leaves

that's what gives me hope
that the flower somewhat mattered
helped nature continue
in the grand scheme of things
