An Apple Unpicked ~ Harvest Time Tablescape

An Apple Unpicked

I took ride upon the tractor,

Bushel at my breast

Through fields of amber,

Past the birds empty nest.

On through leaves of crimson,

I arrived to look down the lane

Where apples should be upon the trees

But already had been slain

I could see no fruit was there,

Not one apple in the trees

I just stood there...still, and quiet,

Listening to the buzzing bees

Never did I pluck from the tree

A singe fruit, round and red,

Only of the ground I lifted

An apple bruised and fallen dead.

Never I got what I thought,

To pick my apple from the tree,

To taste a bite, deliciously ripe-

The experience was not meant for me.
