Dawn & Dusk

Ideas grow within me
Swell like rich fruit
Writing is the squeezing
That turns them into juice

Succulent sentences
Luscious lines
Spill out onto the paper
One at a time

The resulting cocktail
Refreshes my soul
Purges the bitterness
From the pain of my toil

The words nourish me
Remind me of the truth
Feeding the new fruit within
That will be my next juice
