Have you seen the perfect grape?
Or better still tasted one?
I will always cherish
My love for this small fruit
Of pure perfection
The lovely green one comes first
transluscent, with a pearly sheen
Luminous, like an ancient jade
It's white flesh inside
Holding a promise of pristine sweetness
Now comes the naughty black one
It is almost a deep violet
Shining with impudence
Round, juicy, delicious
It beckons, it invites
Loved by makers of wine
It's purple flesh being the
food of love and lovers
The muse for poetry and song
Living, breathing, beautiful
The grape hangs languorously on the vine
Reflecting the warmth of the sun
In a myriad of colors
Black, purple, red and bronze
A bite
Into the sweet silver flesh
brings
a burst of pleasure
So intense
That it is as sharp as an arrow
The clarity of sweetness and tart
is simply exquisite
as all my senses
celebrate this unforgettable moment
of savoring
This perfect grape
This makes me think of
Our creator of all things wonderful
How on earth do you make
something so perfect
seem so simple?
