Love Apples

Picture an orchard
With love apple trees
With fruit on the branches
Waiting to fall
Love apples falling

Some may be taken
Others left behind

I walk through the orchard
Of the love apple trees
Searching for answers
And knowing not why I ask

I see someone in the distance
Also in the orchard
But they have many bags already
And I am pulling behind me a cart

So just for a moment
Among the love apple trees
Let us step away from
What we carry
So just for a moment
Let us just talk

Then we can continue
Walking through the orchard
Each one certain of where they are going.
By the love apple trees.
