Looking Up From the Menu

A silent parade of spice and steam above me
Glasses of water glimmer like crystals in a cave
Low yellow light melts over me 
“May I take your order?”

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
