Butterscotch

As a child I was fascinated by the melody of candy

2was a sweet rhythm in tune with the harmony in my young heart.

Someone has caught the nostalgia of candy's era

My fascination has been restored in grooves of:

A motion

A gaze

A statement of reassurance

Newness!

I can taste the sugar speck

One so good I tilt my head softly and breeeeathe

Close my eyes and induuulge

Release a declaration of jubilation:

"I love this candy!"

Recalling my memory of...

A childhood long forgotten

A tomorrow I didn't want to face but must conquer.

My future's in this candy,

Somewhere in the newness of it's arrival

I wasn't expecting but it came like a thief in the night

My soul was afire and it blew a cool wind in my burning soul

It motioned to me a 'come hither' wave

Gazed at me with a look of love

Lectured deliverance to my heart

Mmmm...

Inside of this candy was the answer to:

My Whys!

My Woes!

My Whats!

Within the dream was the sweetness of sugar; nevertheless, the outside is hard and comes in the form of

ButterScotch …
