Peaceful Coffee

My brain was rattled

From a day of chaos

Decisions gone wrong

Friends seeking a battle

 

I didn’t make choices

To offend them on purpose

So now I relax in my kitchen

Trying to clear my head of voices

 

I take this cup and set it aside

It’s surface inviting and oh so smooth

My heart measures the mix to match my mood

Each cup becomes something I make with pride

 

In mere moments it will warm me inside

Help me forget the words that hurt my friends

I couldn’t care to remember my choices

But this cup of coffee may help me decide

 

Decisions like these are best left to a peaceful mind

As I could never hope to be wise right now

Nor could I know how to apologize

I’ll just drink more coffee and leave this behind

 

 

 

So today, I take my coffee dark and black

Trying to make it so bitter as I revive my life

It reminds me that my life was always tasteful

Yet tells me the things that I now lack

 

I sometimes drink it fast and with worry

When I cannot slow my pace or my mind

But today I’ll drink it slow and calm

For I’m thinking of friends and don’t want to hurry

 

I’ll drink this cup with you in my thoughts

Thinking of saying my apologies for saying too much

This day will end as I sip through these subtle thoughts

This is damn good coffee- even if I feel distraught

 

This remedy has been a faithful friend

When my spirit is cold and lost

This cup of desire fills my mind

Giving me time to simply enjoy this unique blend
