5 months agoIn the heart of the market, where colors dance bright, Stands Sarel, our beacon, a pure delight. With hair like autumn’s most fiery embrace, A ginger flame flickering, warmth in his face. He moves through the stalls with a rhythm and grace, Stacking ripe apples in high wooden crates. Melons like moons, cherries that gleam, His hands craft a tapestry, vivid and keen. Old Mrs. McGee shuffles by with her cart, He gifts her sun-kissed peaches, sweet from the start. Her wrinkles bloom smiles, a sight to behold— Sarel’s small kindnesses, more precious than gold. Parents nod, grinning, as he jokes with the crowd, His laugh, a warm current through cornstalks at dawn, Transforms humble veggies to marvels reborn. The spinach sparkles, the carrots stand tall, In Sarel’s bright orbit, we savor it all. Oh, here’s to our Sarel, that redheaded sun, Whose soul turns the mundane to magic undone. The market’s own heartbeat, our joy, our cheer— A ginger-lit sunrise, beloved year to year.
