From blossoms comes
this brown paper bag of peaches
we brought from the boy
at the bend in the road where we turned toward
signs painted Peaches.
From laden boughs, from hands,
from sweet fellowship in the bins,
comes nectar at the roadside, succulent
peaches we devour, dusty skin and all,
comes the familiar dust of summer, dust we eat.
O, to take what we love inside,
to carry within us an orchard, to eat
not only the skin, but the shade,
not only the sugar, but the days, to hold
the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into
the round jubilance of peach.
There are days we live
as if death were nowhere
in the background; from joy
to joy, to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.

THE POETRY PLACE 
what is the meaning of the poem i quiet dont understand it get that its about death, but what other meaning does it have?
Good question, Jasmine! I think this beautiful poem was written by a poet with an open heart and a cultivated awareness. He looks at a simple, even ordinary moment in life — eating a peach — and he sees that it is actually an extraordinary moment: a moment of being fully alive. At the same time, he acknowledges the transience, the impermanence, of life. The peach began as a blossom and ends as nourishment for a hungry person. The person eating the peach may not be thinking, at the moment of eating, that the death of the peach is a foreshadowing of his own future end. The poet observes that we often live like that, in the moment, not thinking about death. I think this poem celebrates the moment of being fully alive: the moment of living “from blossom to impossible blossom.”
