"Coffee And A Sunrise..."

Catching a breath

This was inspired while listening to Tabby Mac

 

 

 

Ever cry watching a sitcom

as (if) it's your life ...on view.

And the laughter sounds

as tears fall down

and down ...down

'til the tracks burn

your very soul.

 

"Coffee And A Sunrise..."

 

Coffee and a sunrise -

a moment to breathe

a whisper to a shared God

about ...nothing - cause the words

still come and the thoughts

still follow and the dreams

...happen

and it hurts

inside

and the eyes burn

and I want

I want...

WANT...

more than 

...this NOW

and yesterday isn't enough anymore

I'm more ...MORE... than that

than this

than tomorrows' loneliness

tomorrow's numbness

emptiness

silence...

I wish

wishwishwish... W I S H

 

I know

KNOW

...coffee's cold

but I touched

touched...

being alive ...again.

Very powerful stuff Chris. A poem perhaps of hope rather than recollections of the negative. It takes both strength and courage to follow that path upwards. Anfd then to write about it.

WHAT A WONDERFUL POEM! I love sunrises almost as much as I love this poem ;) . There is so much hope and promise, even angst in the sunrise. And you effectively addressed so many thoughts and feelings that I have while watching it.

Thank you so much for sharing! It was more than my pleasure to read

Left me breathless and speechless. If I could write me into words coffee and a sunrise would be an accurate description. Even my family would agree with you. Especially because every morning...EVERY morning... I get up pour my coffee watch the sunrise, and say a prayer. I'm not sure how you got that just from reading my writing but...you my friend have NAILED it!! Amazed for sure! You are a very...very perceptive person!
LOVE! LOVE!! LOVE THIS POEM!!!! It means even more because you saw me through my words!! Mind blown!
