Thabang Ngoma Poet Rhyme

I Fell Into a Green Tomato

Clear as the first ray of sunlight
Scattered, centered, full of light
I fell with a purpose and a need
Yearning for fertile ground

Like the first drop of rain
Into an open heart full of pain
The season of unrealized dreams
The floodgates to those bottled up streams

I fell into a green tomato
To plant the seed of fiesta
To nourish and to nurture
The life and love of every creature

The hope of a red heart
The sign of trust
Unripe, unseen, unsure
I fell for you to glow

Emile Pinet April 1, 2015 at 9:07 AM The words are lyrical and bounce through this poem drumming up emotions with a gentle inviting beat. Love not only puts thoughts of God in this piece, it creates a place for him in our hearts. Emile. #7
