connie crane - Taster's Ecstacy

Strong coffee
Warm scone
Intense flavor
Balanced by mellow one
Coffee, organic from Guatemala
Scone, lightly flavored with cranberry and orange.

And I the taster,
Savoring the contrast.
Savoring each moment of mouth watering scone
Alternating with hot rich liquid almost to bold to be borne.
Taste of harshness,
Tempered by sweetness
My palate soars.

Was there ever a moment better than this one.
This simple pleasure.
This tasters ecstasy.
In this moment, this cup, this bread I give to me.
I am loved.
