Beautiful, vibrant, blueberries,

the blue so natural

as if it were extracted

from part of the big blue sky

or a lively body of water.

the berry’s flesh, so filled up;

that even a light tap

causes the moisture to ooze out,

proudly displaying its juicy ripeness,

cushioning the humid summer air,

getting even the busy woodpeckers

to take a whiff of its fresh scent.

Blessed with Mother Nature,

having the sweet yet comforting taste

as if you had just woken up

from a good night’s sleep.

the savoring of one, powerful, berry

better than three Michelin star dishes put together,

worth more than a billion dollars.

Considered as underdogs,

or delicate and smaller than the others,

but its life-changing potential

waiting to be shown into the world

like a firework that explodes, BOOM!

but also shares lessons,

to accept and give chances

to specifically the most doubted.
