Orange Tree

Morning vanishes to reveal

noon comes with a kiss

ushering what night comes to seal

another day of great bliss.



The sun smiled today

It sent the rains away

moments came like seasons

naked are the reasons



Recall the seeds of orange sown

the watering, the labor of nurture

see today fruits have grown

blossoming in great numbers.



They hug me yielding warmth

the scarcity of love departs

bidden am i to squeeze

let the juice drip again

the heart needs to kill the pain

watered by stark reality

the river yields its tributaries

joy, warmth and love

And the orange tree speaks.
