An Emergent Awakening

The wail of the wind beyond the door trumps the sound of water decending in a pour

This morning's ritual requires a brew of roasted beans that some farmer grew

Ceramic mugs are cradled and caressed, their content savored with reverence

Languidly lingering, high and dry, while watching through windows rain droplets fly

Successive sips form a rhythm that flows into an emergent awakening from head to toes

Our daily quest for caffeinated bliss is a waypoint from dreams to consciousness

A Jam

A jam is something to either desire or dread
It depends if you're busy buttering bread
Hopefully you're not out rushing on the road
Or suffering a toe stubbed in a blundering blow
Instead of a situation that might come apart
Just maybe it's the frame of the door to your heart
Which is opening and ready to receive some love
Earthly from a soulmate or spiritually from above
