~Oranges~

Oranges

If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes.
St. Clement of Alexandra~

what crumbles brakes
the sun was pale
but it was shining

I peeled my oranges
the juices wrap around my fingers
like velvet skin
watching the swirls of dark gold
wrap around the crumbling chocolate dirt
there's always something shining underneath
if you look hard enough
