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

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
