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
