poem with art of a peach on a branch to carry within us an orchard ... -- Li-Young Lee, From Blossom https://poets.org/poem/blossoms-0 Some of us bloom as flowers, buds on a green stem, with roots taken to soil Succulent fruit, ripe as rhymed words, poems on branches of trees Others of us wait in cold, huddled up, battened down for season's change The pit we feel inside our stomach may yet become the seed of nourishment for Advent of Joy
