The Sweetest Ever Known

Just a little bit of honey, a little bit of chocolate, a pinch of cinnamon

A little almond butter, a teaspoon of almond milk, mixed together

With a touch of brown sugar and cocoa, in a pot of loving kindness

Simmered over the heat of her purpose, stirred by life experiences

The steam from her soul’s mixture rises upward

A sweet savor to the nostrils of the only one that could create

Such a concoction of a heart so pure, selflessness, personifying his love

Her outward flowing effervescence, drawing others near

Captured by the sweet savor of her essence, they are drawn closer, seeking

Their cups to be filled with the rarest of delicacies, the sweetest ever known

Every cup in need overflows, with wisdom, substance, love unconditional

Some cups gracious, but most know not, the true value of their discovery

Just a small amount of the dark, rich, healing concoction, filling the largest of cups

Always giving, with more to spare, giving freely, yet who will replenish the pot?

The blind ones only seek to touch the smooth, curved, bubbly texture on the surface

Can’t see beneath, no perception of the depth of boundless lifelong treasure

Seeking only to sample with used spoons stained from cheap buffets

Gourmet too rich for the indiscriminate palette, they can only skim the chocolaty surface

Spoons too short, not used to going deeper into a mixture such as this

The sweetest ever known

A few have sought to drain her, to take their fill and run away

Leaving only reminders as they spilled in their hasty retreat

Yet the creator placed what was spilled back into the mixture

Added two heaping teaspoons of purpose, to make it firmer

Knowingly placing a cover over the pot, between frequent stirs

Her soulful effervescence still flowing, bravely flowing outward

Seeking the one cup that will also replenish, as well as be filled

That wise cup to be filled and filled indeed

Everlasting nourishment from the nectar of her mind, body and spirit

Aged to perfection, and judged by the sighted

As the sweetest ever known
