Found


the aroma of Somalian coffee beans
wafts through the dense morning light
that floods the shop with a golden glow

cool bluesy tones float around me
mingling with shouts from scrambling
professionals so diligently obeying orders

my hands reach for the warm
renewal of life that so quickly
fill my expectations with satisfaction

a familiar voice rings through the mess
of sounds surrounding me with comfort—
hands reach out to hold mine that are so tightly
clasping my morning joy

their touch sends life that I could
never have known in this space
flowing through my veins

a rush of ecstasy in a reunion of
long lost souls whose journeys
have just begun

coffee and coziness: this is perhaps my fave combination of life...perhaps next to tea and coziness
