Stir Slowly

Mixed and mashed together, that's how I feel.

Like butter and molasses, all the finery needed to make sweet n’ decadent things.

Rich and soft.

Molded with care.

Cinnamon and sugar.

Batter...Bitter and sweet.

And coffee with cream…..

steaming hot...slowly stirred.

Covering me in clouds, prayers.

Winged whispers…

swirling....up up up.

But it's the Devil's food…. dripping in vanilla sugar sweetness.

They say it's too much...yes, WAY too much.

Too much chocolate…...too much vanilla…...Or Not enough of either...or too much of both…..

Whichever way, It's always wrong, always too much…...

But see, I know the secret!

It's the reason the sky is blue, the reason the tide of the ocean rises and falls.

It's The reason the birds fly and the locusts hum….

Yes, I know the secret!

So grabbing with BOTH hands, through the clouds...reaching through the noise, I take a bite...

a BIG bite and I smile...

Oh yes! It’s too much! Way too much!

But Oh.....

it's ALL so perfect just the same.
