Apple Picking
It was because of your gift of that apple
that I remembered
tart and sweet are bedfellows,
crisp like a morning
that makes you want to get up.
Your simple sacrifice reminded me how
an apple, if not picked,
will fall and lose the perfection
meant for the one who could have
reached the core and,
forgetting all else,
recognized the seed
as pure potential.
