Pear Tree

Updated: Dec 22, 2020


Thin branches blanketed in leaves

Shield me from the sun’s intrusive rays.


A gentle breeze caresses my skin

As the bugs buzz a soft lullaby just for me.


The unbroken sea of grass around me sways;

Around me a silent ballad takes place,


A dance practiced long before me

Only to be interrupted by a loud thump.


A delicacy lies before me

As if god had dropped it just for me.


The skin breaks with ease as I bite.

Sweetness floods my mouth as I savor the gift from the trees.


The last bite comes as fast as the first.

As I look up, I know not to worry.


Another gift from the trees will interrupt me.

I turn back to the unending dance and smile.

This cycle will continue long after me.
