    Apple

    The incense ashes are now aglow
    The trip from the apartment has come to an end
    A young girl with beads and fresh flowers
    Watches the smoke from her cigarette ascend

    The strawberry field has turned to black
    As the needle cuts into the record's face
    Paul sang the strawberry fields would be forever
    But John took them to a sacred place

    A grieiving woman with beads and wilted flowers
    Stares at the blackness as if to capture
    Just a small vision of the field
    But only hears the white noise of rapture

    The smoke from her cigarette stains the wall
    The life from the flowers is gone
    But a voice screams from the vinyl cover
    In the strawberry field from John.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
