Listen to poem:

Toast

Thick and lush
Buttery hush
To quell the fear
Silence the rush

I sit with tea
Or coffee swirl
A selfless moment
A priceless pearl

Inside my heart
A gem recovered
This wheaten slab
Has rediscovered 

So take the joy
Of moment's grace
Imbibe to nourish
Silent space

Breathe in the warmth 
Accept the cuddle
To straighten out
Life's crazy muddle

For in this crusty
Blessings taste 
In solitude
No rush, no haste

A heaven slice
A time to pause
Seclusion from
Those daily chores

Simplicity's 
Defiant fact 
In hopeful rest
This soulful act

So lift it up
Let's make the most
To love and peace
We make this toast

Gary Radice May 7, 2026 at 11:44 PM An excellent poem Sam. . I don’t get to the Soup as often these days but I’m glad I read this today A pure simple moment of calm reflection and contemplation and hope for a ‘buttery spreading’ of love in a frightening world. Love the play on words in the last line so ..in response to it…. Cheers - Gary Sam Scott May 29, 2026 at 3:48 AM Hi Gary! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Glad you liked it. Sometimes it's the simple pleasures in life that catch our (poetic) imagination. I too have been less engaged here for no particular reason but friends have moved on I suppose and there have been other distractions.. hope to regain my muse when the time is right. Anyway, good to hear from you. All blessings, Sx :)
