Woven into the Aroma


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!
