Coffee Shop

 

A waft of freshly ground coffee,

reaches over to me.

A life raft to take the blues away.

My view fills with carefree bodies,

shuffling in the summer heat.

I sit in the open window seat.

Feeling the heat eased

by the lightest touch

of a summer breeze,

watching the last of the sunlight

caressing the horizon.

Peace sits beside me,

calmness within.

The smooth jazz tunes

relaxing.

Thinning crowds drift

between two trees

planted in my view.

and today

becomes yesterday.

As the hours shift

I haven't moved,

just collecting thoughts,

like stamps or old coins.

A cluttered table

of memories and ideas.

Caught in the dead space

between my ears,

listening to the groove

lift through the air,

and feeling words

boost my mood.

Leaving me in space

just floating there.
