The Nirvana of Morning

The nirvana Of morning

 

 

 

 

Please don’t speak  

until the stirring of

a rounded teaspoon

can be heard…

 

at least not until

the circumference of

a cup greets

the finely granulated crystals

of sugar,

and the fluidity of cream…

 

not a moment before

my tongue is sated

and the sun peers into

my cataleptic consciousness,

 

and I am methodically awakened by  

the nirvana of morning.

Mmmmmmmm I can taste the breakfast blend Folgers with a dollop of peppermint mocha, or pumpkin spice.. Kelly, this is good to the very last drop. I'm wide awake now :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, yeah...I'll take one of those dollops!!! I know its a good day whenever I see you, my friend! Thank you so much, Lisa!

[Robert Haigh]

I always start the day with a large cup of filter coffee. I may be an Englishman, but these days I prefer coffee to tea! I enjoyed reading this, Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

You're the first Englishman I know to drink coffee, Robert! Pretty good stuff, eh? ; )

Rather pleasant reading this, very mellow

[Kelly Scheppers]

Not only is it mellow, but it's a french roast!! Thanks so much, Aleskandr!

Coffee...java....the drink of the gods if you ask me. Every morning. Yes, the ritual of the first cup gets the day started and nothing exists before then. Loved the imagery of this one. Your attention to detail is wonderful. Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thanks, Lydi! I like that..."the drink of the gods"! All it needs is a donut to put me right over the top! ; )

[Ted Kniffen]

There is something about that first cup that is almost therapeutic, isn't there. Beautiful description. I haven't had my morning cup yet, but after reading this, the pull is stronger than ever. Well done Kelly & the title is perfect. Good write.

[Kelly Scheppers]

There IS something about that very first cup, and you might have just hit it on the head, Ted...perhaps "therapeutic" is the best of all descriptions! Hail to caffeine! ; )

[Ted Kniffen]

Al hail caffeine Kelly, the only honest drug.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...here, here!

Good lord I've never heard coffee sound so good ;) another beautiful image to match. Go on girl! R xo

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, I'm hooked, what can I say...thank you so much, Rachel...hello lil dragon! x

[Ruth]

Gorgeous...those initial moments until the quench takes place can suspend in a certain energy and should be absorbed, as always, you capture a moment and give it new life :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

Oh, how I wish we could share a cup sitting at a Cafe table somewhere...how wonderful it would be! Thank you my darlin girl! x

[Ruth]

That would be so cool hon :) My pleasure, as always x

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree dear Kelly.
"and I am methodically awakened by
the nirvana of morning."
I need strong coffee and quiet in the morning. Best to start the day easy and slow. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry dear Poet.
