A Symbol Is a Well Where We Must Dig
A symbol is a well where we must dig
To find the deeper meaning hid below
On our human knees we need to beg
To gain admittance to the latest show.
Life is but an apple we must bite
Our teeth may break and so we suffer pain
As from our human ills we cannot fly
We suffer learning,digging, once again
Love’s a cherry with a lively stone
Which desires to live itself when time is ripe
Some see love as meat gnawed from a bone
Some think love’s a letter we can’t type.
Love or hate ,a fruit will have its pips
Which choke us while its flesh is on our lips
