Simple Pleasures

Thoughts tonight 


are of strawberry jam and cornmeal muffins. 


Simple pleasures that complete my evening. 


The only disturbance ~ winking lights of air craft 


barely the size of a star,

crossing the ancient lines of the Big Dipper. 


It seemed offensive to mar the perfection of 

the night sky. They flew on and I could feel 


the awe that I felt when I was ten, or 20 or 

some other age on any other cool, crisp night.


“Simple pleasures are the last healthy refuge in a complex world.”

~ Oscar Wilde
