Apple Plucking
September 27, 2021
Basket hanging on my hand
Went to a magical land in the spring
Huge apple trees where I stand
In the morning dew breeze
Ruby red apples shining ripe
Some smile pink as a blush of a bride
Crystal pellet of water droplets
Is a bead necklace embellishing the fruits
The ground haul some of them
Where it slides and chop
Or be fruit to the little vermin
Who widen their mouth to flavor
I plucked some apples
To fill my bucket
Some were blowing the space of my pocket
Ah, luscious apples, so sweet and ripe
Apple plucking, or is this heaven?

Favorite Quote:
"Let the disappointments pass
Let the laughter fill your glass
Let your illusions last until they shatter.
Whatever you might hope to find
Among the thoughts that crowd your mind
There won't be many that ever really matter.
But take good care of your mother
And remember to be kind
When the pain of another will serve you to remind."
--Jackson Browne
