A percolated poem

A Poem by Chris Shaw
"

(playing with words)

"
Do not stir your coffee
or dare to drink it
while I marvel
at movement of
cream on its surface

white swirls in black
blends without argument
creates marble
a masterpiece in a mug
forgive me for asking

Great title and message in these eloquent verses. As the cream in our coffee is able to naturally blend, so should we stop and take the time to do the same with each other. I think that’s it. But maybe it’s just appreciation of a good cup of of coffee. Either way, it’s creative and so very clever dear Chris. Love!
