The Coffee Shop

By Regnhild

Time passes with strife and tests
Filling each day with new challenges
If you live in the moment
How can you enjoy the small pearls
Left along the way

Sitting in a coffee shop relaxing
Leaving the planner, iphone, calender
and deadlines behind, allowing the day
to slowly awaken, revealing the small
pearls of pleasure along the way.

A group of grannies, playing Bridge
A young man watching his Asian dramas
Two others watching the daily news,
awaiting the school bell to ring
All enveloped within the caress of coffees aroma
while the Blues play in the background.

Soothing and gentle, creating introspection
without the drama, everything seems sealed
in a protective bubble. Allowing the mind and body
to acknowledge the new day with a happier mindset.
Giving the mind license to wander and indulge
into areas of creativity and creating solutions for issues
by getting out of the box, and rat race.

Mornings with a cup of Joe, Blues and quiet zones
to bring in the day with a calmness and gentleness that
everyday needs. Life within this bubble, is wonderful
But as with all good things, one must leave to face the day with its
myriad of issues, and hopefully having the chance to breath and
be comforted with the silkiness of the coffee shops bubble, Life will not
be as acidic and troublesome, cause one always has the memory of the lil grannies
playing Bridge, the young man watching his Asian dramas, and the smell of the coffee brewing
in the background set to the strains of a quiet Blues melody.
