Delight…that carnivorous adventure
Summoned up the ego finds its censure
Spirit waves a welcome to the blue skies
Moistening the vision of once dry eyes

Tell me of the story that dictates your fate
Did you know the past was placed behind in wait?
For without relevance, an uninvited guest to dine
Left the center stone…left a lifeless line

Vividly I dance the drizzle in a sweeter juice
Unblemished and undaunted as the waters are let loose
A gardener still learning of the cycles of mature
An orchard so abundant as to thrive such faulty tour

Delight…what breaths the quiver into night
Imperfect the felicities of each seasons rite
And yet, you sip the perfect nectar into fine
A mystery of mortal man in flesh divine

And I return myself to whisper in the warm of breeze
A sweeter hush, and warmer will, believing on my knees
For faith has grown abundant, in the rightful place of all
Disregarding humble harshness every time I take this fall

Ah, sweet necture.  I too have great admiration for your verbiage.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

A couple of years ago, we had two peach trees in the front yard...but...
the ravages of Kansas are much too hard on such a soft tree...and the first year harvest was much too heavy...

but now, you've made me miss them....

and I would walk your orchard...
