At the top of the tree lay the best of the fruits
The ones begging to be picked
but which remain until the end of the season
rotting within
In the middle of the garden
grow the most fragrant of the flowers waiting to be cut
and brighten someone's table
The flowers and the fruits
Are waiting to be plucked but,
The harvest is only provided for the weakest
Don’t stress
Your time will come to be picked
You are the fruit at the top of the tree
The flower deep in the garden
The hardest to pick
One day someone will adventure
And find you
