Notes About The Poem

Sipping Coffee Poetry Contest

10th Place

Sipping Coffee

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


An iron-grey sky I encounter along my path

With God’s will a flight abroad will transport me safely

An abiding faith inside, my spirit guide watches over me

With consoling embrace and the warmth of the mug

A morning prayer to begin the day:

Please give me the strength and wisdom to face 

whatever challenges come my way

A frothy display; foam adorns my top lip

Now ready to devour a breakfast continental

as I slowly savor my final sip
