Words That Bear Fruit Recorded In Time

This is the process of the steeping stones that build an audience of magic.

In the time of this universe
Memories must be recorded
Words recorded down by any means
Even if to be left dormant in the mind
To rest for awhile

For sometimes the words age
As a wine so full of flavor
That it has a blossom aroma of magic with it
That sparks the senses of creativity

So it is that some things start early within us
As sprouts gaining ground
Feelers are sent out to test the ground
To reinforce the audience that it is seeking

Slowly the words are grouped together
A fruit is formed on a lonely apple tree
The tree is picked of its offering
And if it is sweet enough to be remembered
Others will start looking for it to bear more
Sometimes bringing the fertilizer of thought to it

Soon other offerings are swallowed up
As fast as they dare shows themselves
Soon an audience surrounds it in anticipation
Inspecting the magic aurora around this lonely tree

A fence is build around it for all to see it
As the tree grows in the beauty of the beholder
With the eyes of that praise it blossoms even more
It starts to bear such fruit that it starts to shine
Soon the winds of time
Blends in with the music of those words
Threw the branches now full
And whisks them away to be recorded
Into the heavens that remembers all
