Screen of Awareness

Like an shiny apple's rind, my outer body all can see. Like an apple's fruit, I hold many secrets. Seeds and beliefs are hidden deep inside. An apple has much to offer, my life also has much to offer. We can be sweet ~ fulfilling, a joy to the world. Our awareness is from God.

Paula, good to see you again. This fairly short, concise poem is an amazing inspiration of big things coming n small packages, from the poem itself to the apple to the spiritual you writing its theme. Living poetry within a poem. Amazng. Love the vision you’ve represented for yourself. Big hugs,sally

Lovely Paula. Love the way you compare a person to an apple or other fruit. We see the outside but to get to know someone we must taste the fruit. Well done. God Bless, JB
