I've tried before
but can't ignore
the taste of applejuice.
Where once was just
hardly a lust
now gives my tongue a goose!
Truly feeling life
is somewhat rife
with tons of sensations.
While there is quite
a just delight
we also feel chagrin.
And what better way
to thus display
my point that life's a treat?
Than take a drink
and really think
how applejuce tastes so sweet!
Always,
Jas...

What a nice poem. And timely; National Applesauce Cake Day was Tuesday!
It's amazing what you discover when you really focus on what you're doing, isn't it?
O - Really? The couch? Does that help?
Flannery - It is. I've discovered things I never even knew were there and you know what? It's like watching an old black and white TV all your life, then suddenly going outside in the sunlight and seeing flowers for the first time.
~sigh~
