Analysis of A cup of coffee and a smile



When we speak
of eternity.

It all begins

with sparks
of humanity

As we express
our identity

How we are inclined
to offer one another

A private invitation to
climb through the clouds

Which separate our thoughts,
in ways We have been taught

to protect and preserve
What is most precious.

What most there is to love
about our lives

are the unspoken bonds
we share among those

whose self-respect
and sense of values

or perhaps
exceed our own

above the space
between us

to spend our time

extend our minds
and passions

We may find together
seeing eye to eye

growing with
each passing day

Over a cup of coffee
and a smile

As we ply the depths
of this dimension

caught up
in the currents

of this tide

Of these universal streams
of realities

Entwined in
the endless possibility

Of whatever it is

we are able
to bring to focus

And hold on
to.

To celebrate
life

Over these cups of coffee
just me and you

All our hopes, wishes,
prayers and dreams

Staging slow motion plays
amazed by the

Moment by moment
interplay,

finding our truth

Renewed by increments
Each day a gift in life

To help brighten
each passing moment.

Just a simple pleasure
to reveal.

Each
of many treasures

A cup of coffee
and a smile away
