COFFEE AND ZEN
I like Coffee Shops
Where I can be alone but not alone,
Where the music is right
So I can listen or not listen;
Places where I can sit and be there
Or drift far away,
Drink and look around,
Spoon the froth from my Cappuccino
Until the worry lifts from my mind,
And in the Coffee Shop
I find a still point
…………..
Cappuccino froth
Sugar sinks slowly away
Noise in coffee shop
……………….
Reflections of ivory and pale silk
Among the books, warm black wool
Embracing a pale ghost of Scandinavia
Ripples of mercury on the glass
Sipping coffee reflections flow together
Lost; the moment you were real again.
