I’m getting better at cooking.

…

Sometimes I drop the egg before it gets to the bowl,

Or crank the heat up before the pan is ready.

Whisking furiously when the recipe calls for

gentle folding.

…

But sometimes, the ingredients before me

sing in perfect harmony

I notice the tiny flecks of flour,

watching in surprise as the cake rises

to the occasion.

…

Time slows, I turn down the oven

I throw a smile into the bowl

taking the glance of wonder and

adding that into the mix.

…

It seems to me that I have all the tools,

the recipe and the produce

to keep on creating

magic.
