Morning

A description of my mornings

Morning

(For you Kelly)

I love 

My little room

Entire silvered by dawn.

Tossing into trash bin

Yesterday’s coffee pod

I toss out yesterday’s cares.

Inserting a new pod

I turn the page 

Of my small life.

As the Keurig brews

That first cup

It sounds a shush:

Quiet be, still be, just be

Look at the cedars and firs

Glowing with the 

Fire of God.

So I sip

Coffee and chill morning air

And rock my rocking chair

To the rhythm 

Of birds at the feeder

All else can wait

I love this! This is my style, I usually write a poem over coffee and used to share them here but haven't shared in a long time or have to write of those wonderful morning coffee moments. they really set the mood for the day. Wonderful!

Something about the little details of the morning routine that make for the possibility of a great day. Nice write. ~Jim

Thanks Jim

Such a delight to read Michael. A beautiful and visual read with the aroma of coffee thrown in for added measure. No rush, the world can wait. My kind of morning too. Perfect poetry.

Hello Chris, I just woke up, dawn is around the corner, and today I have your warm words to go with my cofffee and bird watching! Thank you.

Sometimes attributed to St Francis of Assisi, Desmond Tutu, General Abram's; the proverbial "how to eat an elephant? One bite at a time", is an indictment on acceptance of overwhelm and the enormity of things while simply doing what is possible in the face of it all.

One bite at a time is its own tremendous reality, after all - just look at leaf-cutter ants!

I, like you, Sun Bear, choose coffee!

[Michael Sun Bear]

Thanks Lara for a very interesting review.

[Thomas W Case]

Beautiful and serene scene. I love my coffee.

Thanks Thomas. We Seattleites are fabled to regularly mainline it.
