Cherry Pie Chapel 💒 🌸🍒

What’s your favorite time of day?

I joke that my commitment category got used up. At 18 I met my first boyfriend, by 19 we decided we’d get married (Though we promised to finish university first), and now we’ve been together for 23 years.

So nope I can’t choose one but I can write an ode to my favourite times!

When the sun begins its ascent

And I drift into wakefulness –

Before the pain and thoughts arise.

When coffee scents the air,

The nectar coats my tongue and

My skull tingles with pleasure.

When I sit at my desk,

The day is full of order and possibilities.

Just before I check my email

And dive into chaos.

That first coffee break –

The air on my skin,

The laughs with colleagues.

Then the end of the day –

Full of accomplishment

And eager to see my beloved.

Oh! It turns out

I do have a favorite!

It is the moment he smiles,

The way his hands cup mine,

The closeness of our skin.

It is being in the same space,

Souls touching,

Sharing laughter and grace.

I used up all my commitment points.

All choices now lead back to him.
