Coffee For One
Coffee for One
Slowly the morning awakens
Slipping softly into the new day
While pastel dreams
Still paint the horizon
With pensive desires
Water, filter, coffee grounds,
Click the switch, wait
The first song of the day
Finds the birds in chorus
Long before the sun’s face
Peeks its golden head
As veiled visions evaporate
The last gurgle of perking,
cup, sugar, cream, pour, stir
Coffee for one
at the kitchen table
sips of morning pleasure
while the mind remembers
when coffee was for two
