freshly baked scones

straight from the oven

slice one open

steam rises

distinctive aroma

add a little butter

watch it melt

add a dab of raspberry jam

be a devil

add more jam

pour a cup of hot tea

find a comfortable chair

bite into the scone

taste sensations

the sweetness of the jam

the soft buttery scone

take a sip of tea

eyes closing

taste memories flood in

early childhood

family gatherings

Sunday afternoon tea

fresh scones

lively conversations

fighting over the last scone

parents intervened

last scone shared

eyes opening

flash back to today

parents long gone

siblings live far away

eat more scone

sip more tea

eat more scone

eyes closing again

nostalgia on a plate
