THANKS TO MICHAEL EDWARDS FOR USE OF HIS TREE PICTURE !
THE BLEAK TREE ~ WINTER COLOURED ~ SHUDDERED
SHUDDERED as Her remaining leaves were STRIPPED
STRIPPED by the wind ~ that bent Her naked BRANCHES
BRANCHES that had ensured bumper harvest of cider APPLES !
APPLES that had been pressed ~ now fermenting into CIDER
CIDER the Golden Nectar of DEVON !
DEVON lovely County famous for Her Cream Teas ~ CREAM
CREAM ~ Clotted Cream & Scones & Jam ~ Holiday FOOD
FOOD of the GODS ~ Loved by Rich & Poor ~ EQUALLY !
EQUALLY the Tree knows its value & DESTINY
DESTINY that decrees that come SPRING ~ come Her LEAVES
LEAVES that by PHOTOSYNTHESIS produce GLUCOSE
GLUCOSE that morphs into the apples fibre & SUGARS
SUGARS that make Devon Cider so so GOOD !
GOOD seasonal cycle for the Tree Spring ~ Summer ~ AUTUMN
AUTUMN ~ Season for filling Fruit & falling LEAVES !
LEAVES US thinking ~ WE too can be like that TREE
TREE touched by GODS SEASONS to be FRUITFUL
FRUITFUL is what we want to be ~ bearing good FRUIT
FRUIT of the SPIRIT Love Joy Peace ~ No more THE BLEAK TREE !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments please ~ Love A & B 🧡🧡🧡
