Picture by Josephine Wall

* * *

I have found the perfect recipe
The finest food for the heart
There are many key ingredients
Which set this recipe apart

It's not for the faint hearted
But for lovers of fine fare
You must be adventurous
So try it, if you dare

Start with a pinch of passion
And just a dash of desire
A little kindness and compassion
Is something that you'll require

Add some hope and understanding
And give a great deal of self
These ingredients are very special
And can't be found upon a shelf

Then mix everything together
And pour deep into the heart
Then stand back and admire
Your lovely work of art

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Not only the perfect recipe but cooked at just the right temperature also. A beautiful poem you give us as well as some pretty awesome ingredients to live by.  Much enjoyed and the cadence in this one was the perfect dessert to go along with this.
