“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
is it coffee or tea? No. No.
Morning drinks of any kind,
I'd prefer a cup of hot cocoa
or chocolate milk comes to mind.
I don't need a dose of caffein
to motivate me after sleeping.
I have not ground a single bean
before coffee starts seeping.
Marshmallows top my drink
They're ooey gooey sweet
And if some don't melt, I think
I enjoy eating them as a treat.
I've always had the thought...
coffee smells better than it tastes.
Addiction to it, I've never caught.
If I made it, it'd only go to waste.
When I do drink tea, Chai is best.
So, if I want to have a cup of tea
I'll take a pass on all the rest
and brew a pot for company.
When it's shared with friends
it doesn't matter what we drink.
What's important are dividends
that gets our lives back in sync.
