Ode to Coffee

65 14 6
                                    

I wake up with my heart aglow
The smell of coffee steeping slow
Feet rushed in anticipation
Of that tasty recreation
Which makes my morning bright.

Silky heat runs down my throat
Warming me with it's toasty coat
Tendrils of energy begin to glide
Sweeping cobwebs of sleep aside
So I can face the day.

I salute the sun with my first cup
Of this, my favorite breakfast sup
And thank the universe for its creation
Which lifts me up with such vivation
And fills my mouth with joy.
