Plums
The plum tree
sits quietly
at the end of the clearing
in the sunset
Sweet purple plums
thrive around the tree
they are ripe and juicy
ready to be eaten
into the meadow
skips a little boy
to the plum tree
to seize its beauty
a stroll
in the meadow
oh so soft
as he dances
the young boy
is very happy
his favorite fruit
is in front of him
he reaches the tree
oh so softly
and with his fingers
plucks a plum gracefull
the plum rests in his hands
very softly
a beautiful purple shade
to fit the mood
a quick bite
a rush of flavor
explosion of sweetness
and joy
the small boy
twists and giggles
he smiles
and lets out a laugh
the gentlest of
breezes rises
and the boy
smiles as he eats
a beautiful sun
oh so peachy
rests on the horizon
to comfort him sweetly
the little boy
needs to go
he sees his mother calling
and his father telling him to go
the boy picks
another couple plums
he looks at his family
and waits until the sun is done
he looks one last time
at the beautiful tree
oh so beautiful
and so amazing
And now
the boy prances away
with a smile on his face
off along the sunset
