The Apple Tree

Fallen cores and corpses Lie beneath "The Apple Tree" Orchard thoughts, grandma's house Among her backyard fragrant breeze A climb into the heaven's window Constellations harvest is where I am led Searching for mere angelic perfection Further and further into the clouds of red From God's hand beginning is how it ends In temptation from "The Apple Tree" And so it is so pleasing to mouth from hand Unleashing tastes just meant to be All the cores and corpses Fallen heroes till the very end Lie beneath "The Apple Tree" Giving souls back, to nourish their next of kin
