Both Ways

now that you have seen the sunrise
and now that you are facing this sunset

both ways then

please tell me which is more beautiful?

the blooming of the tight bud
into a flower

or when the petals slowly fall one by one
and then blown by the wind in all directions

tell me

what was it that you felt when you were born
and what is it that we should anticipate

waiting for the sunset to finally fade out.
