Slowly it creeps in…
Interrupting our day,
At any given point, early or late..
An ache, an unquenchable thirst…
One that fills our stomachs with grumbling pangs
Desires unknown.
Satiation needed.
We live our whole lives taste-testing…
Adding a dash of this, and a pinch of that.
Looking along steadily for the right ingredients
Indulging, experimenting
To create the perfect, delectable dish
Attempts to appease the hunger inside
For that certain something
we can’t quite put our finger on.
Fortunately, for those
with a pickier palate,
the world is a smorgasbord of appetizing opportunities
a la carte.
Each perfectly prepared to placate the pangs of deprivation.
Some develop a propensity to the sweet savor of friendship
garnished with laughter and smiles,
The lush decadence of romance
infused with the spice of passion and intimacy,
The tangy taste of adventure
swirling with titillating thrills and discoveries
eager to try it all.
Others, looking for fast-food fulfillment,
Merely experiencing the bland, unappetizing selections of life’s menu…
Are left deprived…
momentarily pacified
hungry …
Ever wanting more.
Nevertheless, Despite our hunt,
For tasteful satisfaction,
Whether a seasoned slow-roast
Or a processed package
we all create our own comfort dish.
Our special go-to..
…Satiation
