Life’s Cycle
I was raised by the sun
He taught me how 2 stand upright
He gave me swagger
He prepared me for dark nights
The water raised me as well
She nourished me deeply
She relieved me of his unmerciful burden
So I always made time for her
I welcome her with joy
They became habits
Painful and pleasurable
They were great teachers and lovers
One day I was consumed by a bird
My splendor and glory was stripped off of me
Naked
Only now I realize life ain’t 4 me
Humbled
I fell about 60 feet
I am no longer a fruit
I am reborn
I am a beautiful, bountiful tree
“When eating a fruit, think of the person who planted the tree.”
