Aunt Grace's Peach Cobbler

Around the corner and half a block away, the flavor would grab me, tie me up to some irresistible force, then drag my nose to the source of its home. The aroma that wafted in the air and up my whiffer was sweet and warm - rich with orchards of deliciousness and cascading with the buttery peachy-ness of what was to come. It knocked all other thoughts out of my realm and led me down a path of complete submission - surrendering like the energy of cold water on a hot skillet. With each step bringing me closer, my musing would swirl with the anticipation of that first ultra-luscious, gratifying juicy bite - the one that ever so longingly and lovingly would delightfully roll around on every palate of my watering mouth and lingering tongue only to succumb to gulping down the first chunk. From the flour and water and salt Her timeworn hands kneaded magic A mystical mixture of love and fruit to concoct- A pinch of this and that, nothing formally systematic. This masterpiece was an untold legend that "rocked" The socks off anyone and even rival the "Titanic"! Her ritual was simple and deep rooted As uncomplicated as a baby's grin. "Easy as Pie" she mooted And laughed while she hummed all the while. Layering the rich sheets of goodness in a pan From pie dough to peaches to butter and sugar There was nothing in this world so simple or better than My Aunt Grace's Peach Cobbler!
