        An apple a day

Time rings out for you and me
Outside the garden and the tree.
Served a plate of expedite
From an apple and a bite.

Now we blunder in a daze,
Full of roads that form a maze.
Spading sand against the tide,
Time and tide that we abide.

In this circle of extreme
Like a fantasy or dream,
Time and term and term again
Filled with longing and Amen.

Change continues into strange
Ever making the exchange
Till the sun will pass away
Serving apples on a tray

And we eat one every day
Just to pass the term away.

I like that.
