Simple Pleasure

Standing on the porch
waiting on nothing at all.
The sun is rising.

From out the green mug
rises coffee's siren scent
The god's own nectar.

And from inside, the
beloved footsteps approach
A second sunrise.

I'm a bird today
flying high above this world
Never coming down.

"second sunrise" and "god's own nectar" are my favorite lines...
"waiting on nothing" has got to be one my own favorite pleasures...because it can lead to so many others
a great beginning for the week...thanks :-)

I love the way you describe coffee as 'gods own necter'. Not being a coffee drinker, you make me feel like brewing a cup this morning.
