autumnal daylight
crisp, cool air awakens me
I reach for my tea
I woke to a lovely autumn morning. The rain holding off until a convenient time opens up possibilities. Yet, I expect to spend most of the day in front of a computer.
A fly in my cup
Bereft of life and motion
Tea in a new cup
As I sit, awake
Enjoying this calm morning
We all needed rest
I’ve been awake for a bit, exploring Twitter, reading a bit. Now tea summons me. I must heed the call.
Awake
Against my will
My uncontrollable mind
Second guessing my life
Every choice open to
Ridicule
Through my open window
A lone bird’s chatter
This strange, calm click
Answers my insanity
With a call
For tea
In the afternoon
A warm cup of tea helps me
Make it through the gloom
Today’s gratitude:
The joys of a morning tea
And functioning cars
Throbbing skull
Easing now
As tea
Drifts through
My veins
