for just that one moment

nothing like an early morning walk on the beach

the sky this morning

was burgundy wine

seagulls debated

over who would catch the plumpest fish

the world was my coffee mug

and the java was spiced with sea air  

a wanton page of newsprint 

wrapped itself around 

an unsuspecting palm trunk

there were no blanks

in the conversation i had with me

gathering a cache of inspiration for later use

i smiled

because for just that one moment

all was right with my world

This is lovely. Short and sweet, with wonderful images. I love the line "the world was my coffee mug". It conjures up those rich warm moments of being perfectly content and happy with everything around you. The perfect day. The perfect morning. I really enjoy how you create that warmth. I also love "there were no blanks...in the conversation I had with me..." that is a lovely way to put being along with your thoughts, and at peace with your own companionship. I really enjoyed this from beginning to end! Well done!
