The Guide & Guava

Even in loneliness, you are not alone.
Look around, a poem walks alongside you.
Reach out, hold it’s hand.
If there’s nervousness,
or any hint of fear,
clasp it’s finger and keep walking.
When the full moon appears,
pause and write on it.
The color on the cruising cloud above,
and the smell on the forbidden fruit hanging beneath,
beyond the hill, the house behind —
the Paradise is found.

It was a fruit the kid had never seen before, about the size of an apple.
It was round-to-pear shaped and yellow like the leaves of a neglected book. “A basket of such ripe fruit must be holier than any prayer book”, the kid pondered.
