Cece Cook

Golden rays spread throughout the sky
Reflecting over waters that pretend to be shy
Seagulls that sing their usual song
The peacefulness here reminds me of home
...

You rush downstairs to the kitchen with excitement as the heart felt aroma of chocolate chip cookies seeps through every room in your house.
So enamored and filled with relief that your anguishing wait is over, you cannot help but notice each cookie's golden brown, wrinkled crust glistening as steam whisps seductively around your nose drawing you near, as if in a trance. While rich chocolate oasises seep delicately into each cookie.
And when they are finally cool enough to eat, you push and grab for the biggest chip, filled cookie on the rack and bite eagerly into the crust, but savoring every flavor.
The texture, so soft and moist, melts like ice in a bowl luke warm water. But, as the last piece slips down your throat, the after taste is so overwhelming that you yearn for another, and another and another until you are satisfied.

Do you remember? ...
How we held each other so close in silence, never wanting that moment to end?
But yet still..........it wasn't long enough?
Do you remember? ...
