Freshly Picked Words

Picking words as if picking ripe peaches
Hanging from a branch.
Available, enjoyable.
Carefully crafting sentences
As if making preserve to last long winters.
Feeding the soul with the unpredictable sweetness
Of the nectar within.
Writing, summer exercise
As if there was no tomorrow.
Enjoying the sun-ripe transiency of words,
That may soon be collected into jars,
And put to rest inside dark cabinets.
Cabinet words are not as good as freshly picked ones.
