musings over my coffee cup

inspired by Corset in general, and two of her poems -- Providence, and this one http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Corset/1801615/

mysteries
over a coffee cup
stir my spoon
speaking quietly
I have to listen
to really
hear them
by fleeting
softness,
I have to open
wide my eyes
to see ...
visions
what the
universe
is trying
to tell you
might not be
what you
believe.

Thank you for stopping in

Sometimes it's necessary to question the things we have believed for so long. The facts stand before us and we would be fools not to notice them and take heed. Drinking a cup of java and observing the world...it all becomes clear. Liked it! Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks as always for stopping in.

Softly insightful, as coffee scented musing should be. A welcome pause, thank you.

[Lyn Anderson]

You are gracious and kind, for one whose writing is soothing and a morning muse itself.

this is right down my alley ..love the depth ..the personifications in your opening three lines are better than mocha! into my library this goes ..i think it is stunning ...the simplicity sparkles

How wonderful, thank you, and Corset for a unique view of the world.

[Papaya]

Morning coffee time offers a chance for peaceful reflection. It's my favourite time of day.
Before the hustle bustle.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes this is true, and I mused over Corset's view of the world.

[Papaya]

I must find her again. I always enjoyed her wonderful poetry. :)

This has truly spiritual and philosophical traits. You managed the musing tone very well. Thought provoking and picturesque poem, I could clearly envision someone brooding over things sitting before their coffee cup, wondering.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you very much. Corset's page was an inspiration.

[V]

You're welcome. It's always nice to be inspired by other writers.

[Pryde Foltz]

You had me at coffee ... love this turn to spirituality, KL:) But really you had me at coffee:)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for your kindness.

great inspiration Corset...and KL...wow, yes, have that cup of inspiration in the morning...sip it and then face the day...no matter what, dreams can come true---and some might just be meant to take us away from our reality...either way...i'll take two sugars and some cream.

Thanks, yes, I went on a bit of a Corset binge today.

[Corset]

wow, I'm not sure i've ever inspired anyone before but "you're right".lol JK..yeah, what you believe is not always what they say is so, and I think that colors ones dreams a bit.

[Lyn Anderson]

I cannot imagine you not being inspiring. xo

[Corset]

That is such a nice thing for you to say :) Thank you!

Yes, KL,
The voice of life and all creation is ever present, continuously streaming all around us and through our every fiber … if only we were able to hear it in its purest state.
First, if we "open wide our eyes" we will begin to perceive its existence, and where better to begin than over a hot, comforting cup of java?

Beautifully rendered, Dear Poetess … your own voice speaks deeply, too.
Thank you for sharing, and a special thanks for the honorable mention … I humbly bow! ⁓ Richard
