Sipping coffee

“God within me is the enjoyer of the aroma, like this dopamine boosting flavor I taste. I surrender all pleasures to the dweller of my heart, breath by breath so that my soul may be chaste”
He is the one that loves me and watches me night and day as I sip my coffee I ponder on my future and His way How can I yield to Him when my hopes are on the fringe ? A caffeinated woman highly stimulated by life, unhinged like the fences of my childhood past, ... He is the scent that clings to my bones at my most secret hour the shadow that never leaves me, my Babel Tower How can I be obedient until death when life continues to shower? Juiced up to the max by life's contours I tend to cower like the deer in the forest I shrink away fast, ... He is the light at the end of a long and darkly tunnel a few prayers on the lips and I am able to leave this jungle How can I serve Him best, when all I do is stumble revved up like a strong cup of espresso I can only guzzle like a thirsty beggar, without a solid repast.

Mystic Rose Rose, your poem is a soulful journey. The verses beautifully convey the intertwining of sensory experience and spiritual contemplation. The metaphor of coffee as a stimulant parallels the caffeinated woman navigating the fringe of hopes. The imagery of the dweller of your heart as the watcher, the scent clinging to your bones, and the light at the tunnel's end adds depth to the narrative. A captivating exploration of the human spirit. - Blessings, Daniel

Your faith and spirituality is so intact and strong and emanates golden hues of light through poetic words you weave from your beautiful heart dear sweet rose! I felt this especially the comfort in knowing “ He is the scent that clings to my bones at my most secret hour the shadow that never leaves me,” how well you’ve expressed and described here. And the ending is soulful! Sending you light always. Best wishes for the contest
