Ode to the Golden Spoon

Oh golden spoon of mine, I wouldn’t choose another color for you.  The warmth you bring to the table enhances the taste of the most subtle root, the softest grain…  I wouldn’t choose a red spoon, because I do not want anger at my table.  And a blue spoon might dampen the mood.  Green simply wouldn’t do because I do not want to envy yesterday or or be jealous of tomorrow, I would rather enjoy this moment today.   The golden beauty of the saffron spoon creates a warm atmosphere, filled with joy, placing a glowing spotlight on the meal of the moment.
