The Nirvana of Morning

The nirvana Of morning

 

 

 

 

Please don’t speak  

until the stirring of

a rounded teaspoon

can be heard…

 

at least not until

the circumference of

a cup greets

the finely granulated crystals

of sugar,

and the fluidity of cream…

 

not a moment before

my tongue is sated

and the sun peers into

my cataleptic consciousness,

 

and I am methodically awakened by  

the nirvana of morning.

After what seemed endless years of living in darkness, I now can understand your beautiful stirrings, this glory of the morning, coffee-scented sunrise. Drink deep and embrace this sacred New Year, Kelly. xo

[Kelly Scheppers]

Many blessings for a happy new year, to you as well! x

[Echoes of Eros]

That's a plan, yes? To write a very happy new year. :)

Here it's a brief visit outdoors for Jackson, treats, food for my hairy friend. There is a 15 minute wait before the plunge of my coffee pot. Black like sin I sink into the evils of caffeine.

Great write Kelly!

Regards,
Al

My thoughts are with you and Jackson this holiday season, without Honey. She has left the two of you in fine company, to take care of each other. My love to you both!

[Alfred Kukitz]

Honey''s happy. Bully sticks for her birthday. I still miss her and love her. Thanks for the beautiful card!

Love,
Al

[Kelly Scheppers]

...you'll always miss her and love her. All that she was will remain with you. Is Jackson ok? Animals grieve just like we do. Be certain to shower her with your love! xo

[Alfred Kukitz]

So done with all those things in mind. He's fairing well! Thank you!

[Hebe]

Yes you captured perfectly....don't talk to me right now, i need my cup of coffee! The words are just swirling around in my cappuccino :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

...you've got it!! Lol, thank you so much for your time and kindness!

I've tried to explain this feeling so many times. I love the peaceful almost bubbly-ness of morning, and you used so nice language to describe it.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you! I appreciate that.

Simply stunning, as per your usual poetry. 'cataleptic consciousness' can I use that? ;) You always find the best graphics too!

[Dean]

...and the poem is nice, too!

[Kelly Scheppers]

...you are too much! x

An extremely beautiful piece about a simple cup of coffee. Give the simplest of things to a poet and they'll give you an entire world.

Well done, Kelly; from word choice to intricate description. Stunning!

[Kelly Scheppers]

It's amazing of what one little cup of coffee can do, and here I thought it was just me! Thank you so much, Alice.

This is extremely well written and captures mood, feeling and thought so beautifully. I love the words "nirvana" and "cataleptic" - very peaceful yet strong words that say so much. I often feel this way in the morning as well. Nice job.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Pete. It seems like a lot of us feel the same way!

[Lyn Anderson]

I bet a book could be made of all the poems about coffee. Very nice, even though "sugar in my coffee makes me mean" (Big Sugar)

[Kelly Scheppers]

I find it hard to believe YOU could be so mean! ...thank you, Kara!

[Papaya]

Coffee is like sunshine for my taste buds. I need it every morning to bring my smile. This is lovely, Kelly. A feel good morning.

[Kelly Scheppers]

You're so sweet, Ana....and I feel the same way!

[Papaya]

Cheers. :)
