It was everything
To her
To tend the naked vines that sprawled
Across her soul,
And through the long cold
Winter
To let the sun pour
Over
The sprawling expanse of not-yet-sweetness,
As she hoped
And prayed
For fruit
Ripening amidst abundance
Into wine.

In these hands
Is held the future,
Made of blooms
That kept their oath.
In these hands
Is held the fruit of
Sun’s long labor,
Fed by rain
And nature’s growth.
In these hands
Is cupped the sweet taste
Of confection,
And the marvel
That is bounty
And is beauty
And is both.

A nascent blush
Promises
The sweetness
To come
And holds the space
For what is yet
To form.

Opuntia Flower (Photo: Amitai Asif)
In the prickliest places
Where the sun blazes hot
And the rain rarely stops
Lays a possible promise
For nectar
And hope.

More than chocolate and ice cream
More than cookies and cake
Fruit will forever first place
In my heart take!

Ah the copious talent
Mother Earth herself lent
To the hues and the flavors
In plenteous heft.

Breathe the fragrance of summer
Smell the sun ripened fruit
Born of
Hard work
Long daylight
And the miraculous growth
From a green, tender shoot.
