Peaches on my Mind

Like the nectar of peach

Let it run from my chin

A smile on my taste buds

Sweet satisfaction

May I savor each morsel

And not waste one drip

Of this beautiful moment

On my fingertip

***

 Peach-coral dawn climbs into the blue

Mist-laden valleys don a silver-pink hue

Breath-taking mercy swings wide morning’s gate

Lessons of faith and forgiveness a-wait

Trust in the Lord, His love does not fail

Soon the dark night will again draw its veil

And dusk will descend in a peach-coral sea

One day nearer to eternity

***

I’m thinking the fruit

That hung within Eve’s reach

To tempt her so

Was a sun-warmed peach

***

 Soon the peach sweetness of summer will fade

I sense a dusky-blue gaze

Whispering in the willow-wind shade

Lingering in deep, late-day haze

Hints of departure rush to the shore

Of late summer’s less crowded beach

I sense the creaking of a door

Still somewhere beyond our reach

Summer will last a few hours more

I savor another peach

Yesterday was 'beach day'...
Today it is 'peach day'!
Tomorrow...who knows, but One!
