Another Day - Another Morning Coffee


The black depths
of a coffee beckon the mind 
into a bottomless gaze - you stir 
and feel yourself swirl
in a dizzying haze and hope 
you will slowly dissolve
into nothing at all. 
But somehow you manage
to hold, grab the edges,
survive another close call.

Nothing like that morning coffee to revive both body and soul. Good to have you sip one with me dear friend. Cheers, Paul
