"The Coffee Cup Was Empty...

"The Coffee Cup Was Empty...

A Poem by Chris
"

ä Monday morning kinda thought

"

"The Coffee Cup Was Empty..."

 

Sometimes I wonder if my pen creaks

as I scribble a should have been forgotten

thought... and then

the chair creaks as I set the pen down.

The journal creaks as I close it and

bind the covers.

The floor creaks as I stand

and step away from the desk.

 

Life is about adjusting to existence

not existence adjusting to life.

I think I'll write that down.

This sounds like Monday morning kind of thought. The creaking is always there, even if it is just a whisper. The last stanza seems to have solved a great riddle! Nicely done, Chris. Angi~

Ren, anytime... anytime at all.
Those creaks are the sweet song of wisdom...

"Life is about adjusting to existence
not existence adjusting to life..."

I want to put this on a coffee mug, a t-shirt and a bumper sticker, so I can be reminded. :)

I think I'll write that down." What a thought provoking line this is! Brilliant! If we can adjust to our surroundings, we will be happy people! I will be thinking about this one a while. Lydi**

Lydi, thank you for pausing... I hope you return.
The call or crickets is so intense that I missed the sounds of creaks around you.
But,I can feel them now as you mentioned.
Chris and creaks appear synonyms.
Thanks for drawing so many onlookers around you.
You may love to arrange some more cups of hot coffee!

Thank you good friend for the great offer.
I will enjoy the cup at an opportune moment.:)
Traced on paper is the heart aflame...not only that but the delicate web is woven to remain for eternity in the hearts that absorb your words...no...not just words...your soul! xx

i sure will
random thoughts.. a little grease, oil, and a few nails and no creaks. I crave explanation but yet wouldn't want my feet held to that fire. I guess perception leaks for me.

Thought provoking work.
