The magic gem of curly hair,

However,

While the foolish is, exclusively, running after pleasure 

The sage procures it by simply aiming to avoid pain!

Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings

Psalm 17:8 NIV

The Fall

Blow leaves, just a few,
to feed my eye.

Another clings to a web, evanescent.
One more procures a landing
on my windshield, “I spy…”
Mysteriously the fall stops there,
as if I am in its eye -
I am the apple.
