A Mere Day's Growth + A Simple Recipe
"How is it, my Queen Midas,
that as soon as you
show me your care for something
that it’s brightness soon
Comes to life in my mind?
Such as,
Your worry at the shape of our dear little’s head, day after day as you hold her. Moving her hair, that is coming in fast, from one side to the other, examining, comparing to the similar shape of my own.
Or,
The measurements of buttermilk, oats, wheat flour, sugar, vanilla, blueberries and my two extra tablespoons of water, become more than a crispy edged breakfast with its peaks and valleys.
A mere day’s growth
becomes a valuable difference.
A simple recipe becomes
a reason to wake.
Something once pointless
now worth more than
its own weight.
Otherwise
Pebble things
Pebble moments
By your care
By your touch
Turned into
Gold"
