"fruits of life"
They come in different colors and shapes
to energize the aging universe
bringing a sweet and happy taste to the
bitter burden of life.
In baskets of fruits I saw numerous
colors of moments.
In varieties of your tastes and warmth
comes my appreciation of colors and taste
of days.
The same flavors have tasted differently
at dangling moments and times of day.
You are much more sweet and
tasty when my days are nice to me.
You added taste and colors to my blue
moments and days.
I have looked to you for consolation.
You are fruits of two lives.
And I can't help wondering why you are
being stalked by the fruit of death.
