Seeing the gardener coming, the buds started to
lament.
Today he plucks the blossoms, and tomorrow it will be our turn.
In this metaphor, the gardener represents Fate, Time, or Death itself. The gardener's actions are routine, cyclical, and unstoppable—he is simply doing what he is meant to do.
2. The Blossoms (Today's Victims):
The fully opened blossoms represent
those currently in the prime of life, or those who have reached their maturity
and are now being "plucked" (dying).
3. The Buds (Tomorrow's Victims):
The buds represent the young, the
hopeful, and the living. They are fully aware of the cycle; they see the fate
of the blossoms and know that their own fate is sealed, separated only by a
matter of time (tomorrow).
The central theme is existential
despair mixed with resignation. The buds lament not because the
gardener is cruel, but because they understand that the "harvest" is
universal and absolute. Their fear is not if they will die, but the
knowledge of when.
