Something good is happening here
like the ocean lapping at the sand
a watery tongue gently licking the
salty shores as greedy as it can
Something good is happening here
like waterfalls thundering down on
rocks beating them smooth beneath
misty spray filtered sunlight found
Something good is happening here
like chocolate melting on fingers
before the wonder of cacao can be
tasted in a heat that always lingers
Something good is happening here
as the sun sets lo an evening sky
song birds sing an Alleluia chorus
tree branches shivering with a sigh

Ripe Cacao on this tree really caught my eye and when I read further of all the wonderful seeds inside that our own chocolate products are made from it was simply a wonder.

I love the imagery of this, and the unique anticipation of chocolate which we all love. Yes, something good awaits us all and wakes us to a sweet sensation. Candy

I always wonder who first decided to crack open the cacao. And then do all the work it entails to really make fine chocolate. Creativity and discovery is amazing. And your appreciation is beautiful!

I think the work it takes would be so much harder than eating the results. I have to say I am so thankful to all those who do all the hard work. đŸ™‚

Gosh, I am such a chocohI just told myself today that I’m on another no eating chocolate again. Since Chloe came home I’ve put on 5 pounds in weight again! *Rolls eyes*
Lovely prose Renee.

Sounds like Chloe is good for you or at the very least you enjoy eating together and having someone to eat with is always better than eating alone. I need to lose weight and try for awhile and then…well, I fall off the diet wagon often. LOL đŸ™‚
