melody only

in the rush and bother,
in the heat and the noise,
there is Mel -
walking quickly almost running -
but steady.

too much or too little,
too hot or too cold,
there is Mel -
getting , cooking, changing -
and attentive.

with the coming and the going,
with friends and with strangers,
there is Mel -
listening and considering -
with peace.
when something is done with joy, there is grandness in it.
when good food is served by a friend, it is ambrosia.
