Fruitition





Connection to other sacred souls
Provides no guarantee of consistency or truth
For most with such conditions are so complex
That there are many truths and persuasions,
Some of which contradict one another
And within skin and context
You could call your friend a liar or hypocrite

Those who proclaim their thoughts loudly
Find it harder to change their minds later on
Those who embrace prescience, speak softly
And do not invest their futures before they reach them

The purest souls often have the biggest mouths
And while in this human context, they make themselves out to be frauds
When really they are pure kid hearts, just playing dress up
Testing their condition, and toying with skin and such
To see the limits, and the definites

A cherry in the dewdrop morning
Will rot in passing days
Though the seed will survive it’s vessel and produce for ages
While our skin and fruit appears bruised
The bedded seeds remain, steady, constant and true.
