A little Toddler Apple

28/03/2003

a little toddler apple,
falling from a tree,
it's let go of the branch
and now it's feeling free

sun ripe on its skin
and dewy air to comfort
it's journey through the air
to new life of some sort

above the birds are calling
their songs carry across the sky
bring smiles to many hearts
and the apple on its way

as the apple falls still further
a silence stills the mind
the moment free form bother
and worry of any kind

A cycle has begun
moving through the changes
each and every moment
are one of these full stages

An exitement rushing through
the fruit's tiny soul
in time with its new growing
as it draws toward its goal

for many a death is loss
and certainly confusion
they just see a falling apple
in their own illusion

the thought of what's to come
an end, death, oblivion
covers the eyes and blocks the sun
no sight of their vision

that when the sun it drops
beneath the wide horizon
it hasn't dissapeared
again it'll soon be rising

like creative seeds of change
within our tiny apple
will be spread into the earth
a new birth will happen

with bird calls and the sun
both growing and changing together
calling out in unison
through seasons, air and weather

to warm the ears of listeners
and remind our little friend
that in all is beauty
and not to fear the end
