Tranquility

Silence. Rest. Peace.
Even in the bustle of the city.
It doesn't matter where you are if your head is in the right space.
It doesn't matter who next to you is having a meltdown or screaming at their loved ones.
Having total utter autonomy with no one to answer to or bicker with is pure joy.
Seeing a movie alone is uplifting.
Perusing art at the pace that suits you best is a rush.
And the tea.
And the guilt-free savoured morsels of bakewell tart.
Well. You are what you eat.
You might have joined me today.
I would have shared.

You would have enjoyed opening your mouth and letting me feed you sweet almond bites of pleasure.
You might have licked every last crumb off the fork.
Life doesn't get much better than that.
Next time I'll be sure to invite you along.
