Mother Nature: My Life In a Lemon Grove

During this unsettling time 
I find much relief walking 
beside the lemon grove.
I take my time on the 
same route every day. 

How the lemons 
and my life has changed. 

The trees have already flowered 
and small green lemons appeared. 
Soon they grew larger and bright yellow.

As I walk each day 
ripe lemons fill the trees. 
Some have dropped and scattered.
I wonder when or if they 
ever will be picked and crated.

I watch a hawk soar above and I think 
what it would be like to be so free 
and able to land where ever I want.
Today I find one perfect lemon 
rolled onto the roadside.
I pick it up and place it in my pocket 
with an image of how it will taste 
with dinner tonight.

Darlene De Beaulieu April 8, 2020 at 1:09 PM Hello Joan Fingon, so nice to meet you. I love lemons. I use it in my teas every day. Sprinkle some on my fish dish for dinner. I am enjoying tea with lemon right now. Enjoy your day my friend. Stay safe.
