Rain

Constant rain.  Constant gray.

Silence

Four AM
and there is
silence
in this early
morning hour.
I savor the
tranquility,
stillness and
coffee.

Bubbles

A steady stream
of bubbles rise
in my glass.
A sip and
they tickle my
tongue and my nose.
Champagne just
looks festive
even in repose.

Comfort Food

Winter day.
Bolognese simmering.
Basil, oregano
and garlic.
Feeds the senses.
