The Mossy Rock and the Avocado Seed

The Mossy Rock and the Avocado Seed

A Poem by Hawaiian_fire

We came to rest

on a mossy rock

old as the island itself,

It was cool and smooth

like a polished worn shoe.


We spread our towels on

and prepared for our feast

ham, bologna, 

cheese and dijon.

Everything a hiker 

could want

and more


We chatted lightly and laughed

as we tossed an avocado seed.

Oh, How I smiled 

when the thought

passed through 

my head-


It was a beautiful day

much like a dream.

And I couldn't help 

but notice how

your honey skin reflected 

green from the canopy,

your hair danced 

with the sunlight

through the breeze-


and how I 

could have stayed there

with you on 

that mossy rock

until that seed

matured into a tree.
