Flavours of All

{Today is my birthday... which in of itself of course isn't such a big deal, 
yet every time it comes around new space is opened for reflection,
and gives me reminders of how honoured I should be when I look around at the
incredible people who flood my life and 
sustain, improve, and inspire it everyday
now, and in days gone by.

I am in the process of writing poems for people 
(not in order of any importance ;))
 and things in my life... 
This particular one is for Leanne and speaks of the simple things.. 
which seems to be the theme of the fall for me.
The simple things; the simple moments of friendship that may seem so normal 
- or even unimportant and can lose priority in our busy lives -
hold stuff so profound and meaningful to our everyday...
Thanks for being that Leanne <3

Food and Friendship: 
best thing a girl could invest in :)}

Flavours of fall
    found in friendship and all
         around us fulfill
         the simplest spots in us while still
              somehow sweetly leaving
                   us wanting more...
        more.
        
More living while
                    we are living -
        more coffee dates;
        more date squares;
        more circles round the park.

Still.
    Still in time.
         Sitting in time with no
              frame of it.
Move.
    Moving in time
         without feeling the constrain
              of its frame. 
Taste.
    Tasting not meal time,
         but the sweet...
                     taking it to savour
                               and let the minutes simmer, 
                                                                     uncounted. 
Know.    
     Knowing that time untracked
          forms friendship into a timeless frame,
              where seasons come and seasons go 
         without track, tick, minute, or measure.

Simply flavouring
              and savouring time together through spring, summer, winter, fall - 
         sharing life's spices
                    through time’s all.
