A Recipe for Comfort

In the warm light of the kitchen, we gather,

a symphony of scents that wrap around us,

chopping and stirring, laughter bubbling over,

as garlic sizzles, it feels like home, not a bus.

The cookbook’s pages, stained and creased,

a testament to dinners shared, chaos ensued,

we dash and we spill, the joy never ceased,

our hearts simmering in the flavors we brewed.

In this chaos of clinks and murmured chat,

I catch a glimpse of what friendship can bring,

a warmth that envelops, a comfort so fat,

a taste of life, in every seasoning.
