dinner

standing in my kitchen 

creating a masterpiece 

a swish of this 

a pinch of that 

chopping, stirring....tasting 

my soundtrack playing in the background 

songs that go well with wine 

he sits at the table 

no spoken words are shared 

this time is a gift 

that so many miss 

a forgotten beauty in this world 

the aroma calms my spirit 

or that could be the wine 

as we sit to dine 

we give thanks 

for this meal 

this moment 

...and eat.
