The clinking of Tableware permeates the silence.The majestic Dining Table, immaculate in itself, watches as dinner plates and bowls jostle for space.
The Cutlery joins in at a higher pitch, and the Glassware cheers in approval.Sparkling water sloshes into the glasses, as cubes of ice add a refreshing coolness.
The Food arrives with an air of culinary chauvinism, varied in texture, form and taste,
yet in perfect harmony.
The Table receives it with an air of reverence,
each Dish commanding its own space.
The Tranquility gives way to a quiet joy with the scraping of chairs, as the Family arrives.
A blend of chatter and laughter snuffs out the quietude as the Food is passed around.
A tasteful silence regains its hold as each member ruminates, with mouths full of nurturing love.
