RECIPE

Tiny, glowing, hot in its skyward climb,
it warms the creatures like morning baked bread,  
grows high, dies low, is part of cosmic time.

I have a little something that I want you to see.
It’s a sample of great-grandpa’s secret recipe.
Blend of ingredients in the right combination;

When life descends harsh, heavy and rude
Forcing us to sulk, complain and brood
I know the recipe for the perfect mood
A cup of coffee, a book and solitude

Shut the door to those voices that intrude-
Judgmental, astute, pious and prude
Pick someone from the book in the interlude
Feel,...

Where I am relaxing and sipping beer

That everyone else has been composing

As well as my big red nose

As this new recipe from you...
