Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of an older poet on a porch watching the sunrise

Simplicity

Steaming cup of coffee, as poet is watching sun rise
Ideas go up with the steam's condensation
Magnificent beauty viewed in the eastern skies 
Peaceful easy feelings flood my soul's frustration 
Low, a swallow splitting the air with its wings' formation

Illumination received this day isn't for busyness 
Cause this time in life should be so very simple
Inspiration for my spirit first, building soul's litheness 
Touch me, Holy Spirit, fill me with praise, twinkle
Yes-minded to Your call, praise with cymbals

With the enlivening cup of coffee, new ideas and inspiration will flow into the mind of a poet. If there is the aid of the Holy Spirit, the stage is set for the creative process. Beautifully written.
