an Ode to an Apple

The scent

Of crisp sweetness

Wanders

Among the

Narrow street

Filled

With chattering vendors

And their colorful products.

This redolence

Guides me through

The maze of

People

to

The stand

Where it lays.

How sweet

Are the colors

Of

The setting

Sun

That shaped

The smooth,

Cool,

Rounded

Heart

That I cradle

In my hand,

Which nurtures it

As I raise it to my

Red lips

And feel the

Saccharine

Juices

Swirling

Triumphantly

In my mouth.

There is

Nothing

So colorful

As the

Taste

Of

Exhilarating

Coolness

Dances with

my taste buds,

Mingling

With the

Joy of creation;

The creation of something

Beautiful,

Something derived

From a

Small, feeble sapling

That grew

And grew

Until it reached the heavens.

How joyous

Is the feeling

Of this life

Once lived

In the palm

Of my hand,

Now

Gone

But not soon

Forgotten.
