fruit

day ten

Oh how I love to take a bite of a sweet fruit. 

When it runs down my arm 

As if making its way to becoming 

Me. 

If I could live off of just fruit 

Maybe I would. 

I know that some people do try. 

Maybe they too crave the sweet

And soul satisfying 

Crunch of a crisp apple. 

The tender bite of a juicy pear.

The sour chew of a summer orange. 

The bursting bubble of a fresh grape. 

One day I would love to 

Grow a garden

That is filled with abundant fruit trees.

Maybe it is then 

That life will be 

Filled with nothing but sweet. 

And I will become 

The fruits of my labor.

All that I have grown.
