Coffee Beans
Gentle yet strong like a baby ox
Cold yet hot like the trail of a fox
Steam rises like a locomotive
Black as the night, black as ink when I wrote this
Vital energy for the mourning
Alert and awake like a bird singing
Stomach like a quarter in a washing machine
Peeking your head out just to be seen
Heart rejoices such kindness
The compassion thats shown is enlightening
How can a ordinary bean be so intense
Drinking coffee is common sense
