Food is the purveyor of the soul
providing what is needed to feel whole.
Tastes that instill warmth and bring you home
even when you are miles away
and feel displaced in a space unknown.
It is the life-blood of the world,
for sharing a meal, mends all wounds,
even those you thought would never heal.
Each tasteful explosion restoring a piece
of what you thought was incomplete,
and lost forever.
