In ancient mythology the Apple is one of the most sacred trees. Symbolizing good health and future happiness. Since ancient times it has also been known as the 'Tree of Love' associated with Aphrodite, goddess of love.
Beneath the ancient moon the apple tree stands firm
dressed in clinging leaves and golden rays of night
Over by the garden where a ruby heart confirms
a tree trunk stands upheld by the crowning of the light
As stars of Eve appear with sparkling tails of every hue
the diamond shimmering mist of night, befalls
Drenching bark and branch with whisperings of I love yous
it stands still and listens, to a Nightingale's sweet call
This is the tree of love and here, love never dies
long after the giving, it remains attached
Blooming even in the thick of winter, I will now surmise
Mother Nature holds surprises, that we cannot unlatch.
HMMMMM, WELL ....WE ASSOCIATE THE APPLE TREE WITH THE GARDEN AND EVE BUT ACTUALLY THE TREE IN THE GARDEN WAS NEVER IDENTIFIED AS AN APPLE TREE...SO WE DON'T REALLY KNOW. IN ANY CASE, I ENJOYED THE SHORT HISTORY, I LOVE APPLES AND YOUR RHYME SEQUENCE IS GREAT. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
Few can neither unlatch nor unmatch your beautiful words
so soothing, and revealing of a heart of pure gold. How lucky
we are to read your words of love.
All it takes is a few warm days for trees like apple trees to bloom too soon for spring. Unfortunately, when it turns cold again, those blossoms freeze and the tree might have a poor crop because those blossoms died before they were pollinated to produce fruit later in the fall.
