Reminiscence of Stella's Ginger Ale in Jersey

O great writer,
How do you capture
The exquisite essence of even the blandest fare
In the mere flow of words, turn of pages ??

When :
Upon tasting the vigorous ginger ale
Away from my current home,
The spontaneous stirrings of effervescent recollection
Supplanted smoothly my quotidian thoughts.
My brain found itself in a comforting room.
A cafe roomed with reading,
Talk, banter and gossiping.
And a surprise fireplace
Stoked by the warmth of kind people.

Yet,
In this happy space
My minute mind only managed
To spastically splash
In the grand ocean of words.
