Life of a quince

Speak to me, quince
Of things that you have seen
A fruit you are
A life you have
But through your eyes
We just might find
Some lessons
In the life you lead

Quince, I am
Walking forward into life
Not knowing
Where this leafy trail might lead
But firm in my determination
To find experience
Which gives meaning
To this fruity life

Looking upward
I ponder the road
Surprise! I notice something
Wonders appearing at every turn
And in my thoughts
Of nothing at all
This fruit life becomes
A miracle of discovery

Well, dear quince
Within your message, grand
There hides a tricky tone
A quince you are
Your life not mine
But with a purpose you will go
To nourish those who know
The essence of your fruity words
