What Fallen Apple Dare One Take Sweet Bite--By Robert Lindley--United States

What Fallen Apple Dare One Take Sweet Bite

What value an oracle that denies

Time and Fate both join to join, to create

rich dessert with man's miserable lies

and dish it all up on a dirty plate.

What steady course to set sail on if known

one that in the calm harbor remains safe

Or through stormy skies, there gaily blown

like upward drawn dregs of useless wheat chaff.

What fallen apple dare one take sweet bite

as if sweet happiness would thus be found

for nowhere in mankind's long, futile flight

is paradise sold by penny or pound.

What hope rewards seekers that blessed key

What Light shines, for any and all to see.
