The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Coffee

Steam, a flare, dark black.
Swaying and smiles. 
Nodding away and ripple crashes; 
Moving slowly, yet everlasting. 

The aroma piques of old, 
Hammer, the chisel; upon the stone.
Memories fathom, deep in oceans.
Sailors drift, a sinking ship. 

I just stir. Dreaming, Thinking.

(x I appreciate this one in general... I love coffee in the morning once in a while... pure bliss indeed. The last line is contemplative and well-said.

Love the vivid imagery here. It really does drive the imagination. It's like a tool that helps our mind dream and think. I love it, thanks for sharing Michael.
