Common Scents

 

The aroma of fresh bread

baking in the oven

filling the house with goodness

the smell of fresh cut hay

drying in the field

sunshine come to earth

the scent of soap and water

after a long hot shower

so fresh and fragrant and clean

the aroma of a roast in the oven

soaking in its own juices

tempting our senses

making us anxious to eat

the smell of fresh sheets

crisp and crinkling

as we slide under into sleep

the smell of Honeysuckle

wafting from its white flowers

wrapping us in sweet embrace

just some of the smells

that make it good to be alive

to have this gift of sense

in a mostly nonsensical world.
