Coffee Scented Morning
By Terri MillerCoffee scented morning
Dreams lost upon awaking
Twilight dawning
Legs downward tumbling
Gravity calling
Expectant floor meeting
Reluctant remains following
Invisible force dragging
Into hallowed room creeping
Icy throne approaching
Slowly easing
Momentarily resting
To the basin leaning
Fountain of youth springing
Encrusted eyes peeping
Alas, the vibrant waters have lost their magic
A misty form reflecting
Truth revealing
A foul breath escaping
Evidence of decay reinforcing
But there is still life in this decrepit form
Hidden reserve summoning
Muscles stretching
The mind slowly thinking
Limbs awkwardly moving
Intoxicating aroma wafting
Knowing nose scenting
Onward propelling
Toward heaven I'm going
Enchanted elixir flowing
Eagerly lifting
Cup to lips nearing
Hot nectar pouring
Through body coursing
Song of the morning
I'm all a buzzzz and Confidently on my way
