Sipping Coffee

“God within me is the enjoyer of the aroma
As also this dopamine boosting flavour I taste
I surrender all pleasures to the dweller of my heart
Breath by breath thus that my soul presence be chaste”

Whether it's perked or left to drip
I drink coffee after I quip,
"Cool enough not to burn my lip."
Ahh... that first sip     Ahh... that first sip

A spoon of sugar, splash of cream
Aroma woke me from a dream
From the cup rises vapor steam
In sunlight's gleam    In sunlight's gleam

My eyes savor the morning scene
More than the flavor of caffein
I hear songbirds as they convene
Their songs serene    Their songs serene

I'm content after yawns and sighs
Enjoying a cup at sunrise
As dawn chooses to colorize
Aurora skies       Aurora skies

I recognize God's hand in this
Reminding me not to dismiss
These moments as if nature's kiss
A time of bliss       A time of bliss

My cup and sunlight keep me warm
Daybreak serves as a tranquil balm
Reading scripture nurtures my calm
A hallowed psalm    A hallowed psalm

I love coffee at any time of day, but if I wasn’t allowed that morning cup… I’d stay in bed! Delightful poem, Lin. I’m sure you’ll be up there in the winners list. Terry

Hi Terry. I'm not really a big fan of coffee. A couple of mornings a week, maybe. Don't turn into a grumpy Gus without your morning coffee. LOL Thank you for liking this one.
