Analysis of I bloomed like flowers



In every step
I bloomed like flowers
Although I knew
I would dry and die next day

Did not give ear to my mind
In tranquility I spoke to my soul
Ripples winged in the depth of sea
Fall of petals and flow of fragrance
Shared and gathered
Between bones and withered skin
I lifted me up to the music of blue
Magically walked and danced
In the white eternal dew
