Sunrise and Sunset Routines

Breaking up the day into coffee and cabernet,
energy and relaxation, sunrise and sunset routines.
—by poet

Sunrise coffee, percolating,
poured into four seasons.
As soon as the mug’s drained,
brush pearly teeth, slide frothy floss,
Touch the sky where the sun should be;
the reach of xanthous rays.
Leftover steam from coffee-up -
blow on the sky; blue hue.

Cabernet in late afternoon;
cerise-cheers at sunset.
Dress down in seasonal pjs.
Brush pearls ‘til they sparkle.
Touch the sky where the moon should be -
the soothe of milky-white.
Remains a drop, dark berry -
the twilight sky infused.

Perfect day gone by, and a perfect evening to kick back -- life is sometimes, just perfect! Forgiving attitude is the Key -- holding a grudge can turn a blush couch into a bed of nails, the best wine to vinegar. Blessings my friend. Delightful read.
