Ripening

ripe for the picking

juicy, succulent

maturing slowly

on the verge of

blossoming



waiting for the moment

fertile ground

a touch of light

a drink of ambrosia

flourishing



hands reaching

sustaining the delicate fruit

a notch of firmness

jolting the freshness

yielding



recognizing the offering

mouth watering

senses heightened by

the relinquishment

and refreshment



devouring the nectar

slurping, quenching

gorging

reciprocal delights

sated from the flavor
