Morning Coffee

A good start to another day

Take a breath of the morning.

Cinnamon and caffeine.

A new day fresh,

A chance at another way.

Crisp, clean, cold

the feelings, yesterday

seem so long ago;

compost for a new beginning.

Growing slowly stronger

baby roots take hold.

What is to be, resides

in the twists of their turns.

Take a breath deep, and smile

eyes closed, arms wide.

Feel the Sun on your face

growing roots in our souls.

I'm just starting my day, and what a perfect poem to begin with. Adding cinnamon reminds me of an old friend of mine who introduced me to that style. Nice poem and great memory. Thank you for taking me back to a pleasant memory.

Cinnamon and caffeine? Love a chai latte on a crisp day great atmosphere

Thanks Stanley! I'm weaning myself off the caffeine actually. I've got digestive issues and the doc says coffee gotta go. Along with my beloved hot chilis and other stuff I got used to ingesting!

I am a fond of coffee. Cant go without. Reading this was a similar jolt. Thanks for posting

I usually have just one cup of coffee a day - at breakfast - unless I eat out later in the day, then I'll sometimes have another. Does coffee help me face the day? Maybe it does, at that. Nice poem.

Thank you my friend. I consider it high praise when you comment on one of my poems. Your gift of turning thoughts into words is amazing.

Hello Mark. I am honored to read your work and you are welcome.

2 cups of coffee, couldn't face the day without them and the hope that today will be better than the day before or certainly no worse.
Enjoyed your words

Thanks, I actually drink one pot a day and have to restrain myself from making another one! :)
