“Flawless As the Smile of Silk” © Bill Wolak

 

A poem while you cook us dinner

I can see you
Pouring love into every ingredient
And joy for our future in every recipe
Care in your moves and passion in each dish you stir
The selflessness of the chef
The focused intensity of the lover
The elation of the artist
And the care of a true partner
Every bit more delicious than the last
Flavored by a genuine and eternal love
