ENLIGHTENMENT

The sun shines on a newborn world
Too young yet to grow old and tired
Just green forests with leaves unfurled
Mankind is soon to be inspired

No intellect, just an instinct
Imaginations not yet fired
A mystery how all are linked
Mankind is soon to be inspired

Hominids and emergent man
Early brains in confusion mired
Survive and thrive as best they can
Mankind is soon to be inspired

Coffee is more than just a drink
It is the liquid that makes me think

A breakfast drink that is delicious
Deleting thoughts that are malicious

A lifelong treat served hot or cold
That millions of cups are sold

A worldwide concoction that opens our eyes
Often relieving our daily sighs

Beans that are grown in so many places
Provided and sold in so many places

Coffee is more than just a drink
It is the liquid that makes me think

A breakfast drink that is delicious
Deleting thoughts that are malicious

A lifelong treat served hot or cold
That millions of cups are sold

A worldwide concoction that opens our eyes
Often relieving our daily sighs

Beans that are grown in so many places
Provided and sold in so many places

3am came late again
My tongue feels like a root
I thought about the summer past
and youth, now lost and destitute

A glass of water woke my teeth
My vocal cords were freed
There grew three words from blossomed lips
"I miss you" fell like sterile seeds

And once again, came salted rain
My slippers shuffled through
Yes, 3am came late again
When I remember you.
