6AM Coffee
These days the sun doesn't
shine until 7:32AM or later
I wake up in the dark
but I like it that way
By the time I make it through
this maze of rooms and boxes
its 6:05AM and I was not a minute
to early or late
I put on my coffee and wait for
it to do its drip drop song
The TV never has anything good on
I pass the time by looking out my
picture window at the outside pond
And then my mind takes me away and
I try my best to unwind
The coffee is ready now
Once I add the lavish ingrediants
I can sit down once more
The taste is not to sweet or to sour
I can taste mostly coffee over sugar
The first cup is always the best of all
Its the moment I realize I am alone
So many empty chairs and dishes too
Boxes of unpacked memories
I want to get out but I don't know how
Everytime I drink my 6AM coffee I feel
a little light break through
I may have lost almost everything
but when the time is truly right
I will start again

Yes. I too cannot seem to function without the first cup of coffe in the morning.
It's like a wake up call. COFFEE precious COFFEE. of course I'm totally hooked on the delicious flavors of Hazelnut and vanilla cream. Yet my very favorite is chocolate mocha mint.
