Ode to a strawberry

[C.Alive]

In what other way
could I pick you up
but delicately
Holding you up to the sun
your reds are fiery, passionate
proposing a toast to life

Your green reminds us
of nature's generosity
The tiny yellow seeds being
proud little jewels
crowning what was already crowned
with taste

Juice like sweet oceans
surging the lips
of the fortunate one
My words will not understand
the richness of that sour touch
Each bite being a journey
to the horizon and back

Stay like this
Stay forever
Remind us of summer
Remain in delight.

I really like the line "My words will not understand
the richness of that sour touch"

An interesting subject!
