Sweet Kitchen Contentment

Boiling kettle a whistling,
an imitation of life.

Water and delicious tea,
bubbling hot, a sober joy.

Living in satisfaction
and sweet kitchen contentment.

Warm feet upon puppy’s back,
massaging toes gently squeeze.

Watching out my windowsill,
the warm sun slowly rising.

Safely within make-believe,
my world of golden pipe dreams.

My mind remains crystal clear,
my eyes a frozen topaz.

I am just living away,
and without the slightest clue.
