Life's Sweet Gestures
Still my favorite but hard to find
Remembering fondly from childhood over and over.
The pillowy softness and toasted sweet cover.
Those flecks of coconut slivers with the nutty flavor.
The center was fluffy, light, and with a chewy bite.
Never would I attempt eating more than one at a time.
It was a small treat with no expectations or design.
Given out the kindness of their heart to mine
The memory it carries from my youth.
Loving grandparents at its roots.
Always a surprise.
Hidden away from small hands and curious eyes.
A sweet gesture.
The puffy little squares and slight crunchy texture.
A delectable treat in such a tiny size.

The Melody That Healed
The voice, belonging to Jamie, was a revelation. It wasn't just the melodic beauty or the perfect pitch that captivated Alex; it was the raw emotion, the palpable heartache, and the fleeting moments of joy that echoed in every note. Jamie's songs, each a narrative of life's trials and triumphs, resonated with Alex on a profound level. The melodies seeped into Alex's soul, awakening a long-dormant yearning for connection, for understanding, for love.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
