Memory Of Spices
/Spices like little magical fairies
Provoke our taste buds,
Tantalizing our sense of smell
These two senses meld together
In a harmonious way
Allowing the flavors to linger
We savor spiced food with delight
A happy emotion ingrained
In the synapsis of our brain
Even many years later
When unexpectedly
We re-encounter
The long-missed aroma
It reawakens our memories
Of the heartwarming cooking
And those people we dined with
