Even though you are dieting
even though you have chosen
gluten-free sugar-free vegan
and no-carb no-larb no spice
no me…I cannot help myself
it’s who I am, what I am
hopeful in darkness
so close and so soft
and the quick quiet sounds
like a grey purring cat
shining mutely in black
and eyes glowing with love
as I measure and stir and I dream
of that sure future that maybe comes
but likely will not
yet I bake, and I smile and I love
a lot
Charissa's Grace Notes 
What a beautiful poem!
True and deeply felt thank you
Hard to refute your true nature. Once a giver, always a giver. ; – )
yes…true. all too true (Btw…just wiped all the flour off my hands! Naan bread~!)
