Black - No Sugar

I gazed into the coffee cup knowing I would not see the bottom until it was empty. An oily rainbow circles its steaming center consistency lingering in its aroma The cup was meant to be held savored its warmth cradled age honored memories cherished. Its stains do not tarnish but embellish accent times passing. Its chips pay tribute to its dependability dedication, strength. It has served us well this cup, this constant this silent solace shared sipped gazed into searching to answer forever’s questions. John G. Lawless ©3/2/2019
