Sweet delight

 Writing is 

much like

making spaghetti sauce

yesterday I cried

While chopping onions

sautéed them

watching them

turn brown

and soften

then i had

to brown meat

thoroughly and completely 

then came 

the sauce

the bright

richness

of aroma

coming together

in color

and consistency

and all 

I could feel

was relief

and pride 

upon completion

the task

seemed

untenable

in the beginning

but at 

the end

i tasted

satisfaction

A sweet delight
