The Coffee Shop

Time passes with strife and tests

Filling each day with new challenges

If you live in the moment

How can you enjoy the small pearls

Left along the way

Sitting in a coffee shop relaxing

Leaving the planner, iphone, calender

and deadlines behind, allowing the day

to slowly awaken, revealing the small

pearls of pleasure along the way.

A group of grannies, playing Bridge

A young man watching his Asian dramas

Two others watching the daily news,

awaiting the school bell to ring

All enveloped within the caress of coffees aroma

while the Blues play in the background.

Soothing and gentle, creating introspection

without the drama, everything seems sealed

in a protective bubble. Allowing the mind and body

to acknowledge the new day with a happier mindset.

Giving the mind license to wander and indulge

into areas of creativity and creating solutions for issues

by getting out of the box, and rat race.

Mornings with a cup of Joe, Blues and quiet zones

to bring in the day with a calmness and gentleness that

everyday needs. Life within this bubble, is wonderful

But as with all good things, one must leave to face the day with its

myriad of issues, and hopefully having the chance to breath and

be comforted with the silkiness of the coffee shops bubble, Life will not

be as acidic and troublesome, cause one always has the memory of the lil grannies

playing Bridge, the young man watching his Asian dramas, and the smell of the coffee brewing

in the background set to the strains of a quiet Blues melody.
