Morning Brew

Breathe in the heady
aroma of coffee brewing.
Pour, then grasp the hot mug,
warming palms to heart
and peer into the dark, steaming, pool
to find the entrance to the day.

Slowly savor the smooth,
bittersweet
of the full bodied liquid,
and feel the burn
while it slides down the throat.
Ahhh......
Good morning. . .
