There is nothing like it.
Starting the day with a red coffee mug
is like the first wonderful burst of music
from a symphony.
It is surround sound that permeates
your entire being.
The heat of that first sip
finds it’s way like an electric spark
awakening your motor
after a good night’s sleep.
As the sun begins to rise
you feel a gentle warmness –
not just from the coffee but emanating
from the deep red of the mug itself.
It suggests a comfort beyond your slippers,
a calmness that the symphony has
mellowed
and a familiarity tugging yesterday along
on today’s journey.
Finally lifting the mug for that
last cool drink,
as refreshing to you as
the watering hole to
the gazelles.
Safe and refreshed
to begin the day.

So well stated and you are absolutely right - but not sure about the color of the mug. Hummmm? I may have to give Big Red a try!
