Still Life

Still Warm

Steam, Heat,

Dancing and wafting at its mouth

Familiar smells

Twilight coffeehouses with friends

Something to ease your nerves

On a hard day

Or even that time

You dared your friend…

Good times,

Bad times

Welcome pleasant colors

Your senses drinking it in

As much as you

Each sip

A flow of memories

A trigger to remember

Just to cherish the moment

Warm and familiar

Rich and full

Memories and flavors

Then whisked away

Back into the eternal dark

Waiting for another sip.
