Pastry Pleasantness

Voices stroll along in the breeze
polite manners join in
the sun approves 
and decides to glow 
no one here is for a show
simply together
for the sake of doing so.


Tender wrinkled hands
fold over pastry
wedding ring
like part of the skin
apples get comfy on the plate
no fuss
or frustration
if there is a mistake.


It seems with age
we become accustomed
to one another
no pressure
just appreciate the time
the company 
and are able to savour
the flavour
of an apple pie.
