Ripe Fruit
Embracing Nature's Melody: Ripe Fruit by Michaela Betts
Lyrics
You tell me I'm afraid
You assert that I have fear
And I am an island
I am self-contained and isolated
I may be dysfunctional
I might have issues, but I'm not causing harm
But I'm not hurting anyone
I'm not negatively affecting anyone
I dream of a wild garden
I envision an untamed garden
With high walls and a fountain
With protective barriers and a water feature
Only I know where the entrance is
I alone know where the entry point is
But you follow me
Despite this, you pursue me
You follow me
You persist in following me
You follow me
Your pursuit is constant
Like seeds on the breeze
Similar to seeds carried by the wind
It's pollination
This is a process of pollination
A force to be reckoned with
A powerful and significant influence
The habitat is sensitive
The environment is delicate and easily affected
I don't have a need that's unmet
I lack unfulfilled desires or needs
Beauty at my fingertips
There is beauty readily available
Like some goddess of nature
Comparable to a nature goddess
She always loved to sing
She enjoyed singing
Folk songs and madrigals
Particularly folk songs and madrigals
I heard them through the wall
I overheard them through the partition
I also heard the fighting talk
I also heard heated arguments
And this follows me
This pursuit continues with me
It follows me
It persists and shadows me
It follows me
It pursues me persistently
Like seeds on the breeze
Like seeds carried by the breeze
I can't explain
I cannot clarify
Why we hide ourselves away
Why we conceal ourselves when the inner self is beautiful
When the inside is so beautiful
I'm ready for the ripe fruit
Glistening under the summer sunlight
Glistening in the summer sun
But summer passes too quickly
And all too soon the summer's gone
I'm ready for the ripe fruit
I am ready for the mature and ready-to-harvest fruit
Glistening in the summer sun
Glistening under the summer sunlight
And all too soon the summer's gone
But summer passes too quickly
I am ready for
I am prepared for
I am ready for
