is like the peace
and quiet
whilst sitting
in the middle
of these proud yellow
rice fields
the sun's rays
touching my cheek
mixed with the coldness
of the air
coffee on a rainy day
is like
your dogs jumping
at you
with so much joy
licking your face
and hearing them
almost utter
you are here!
you are here!
oh boy you are here!
after you being gone
for a few hours
coffee on a rainy day
is like
seeing your favorite person
walk by your house gate
and you both gave
each other
this knowing stare
a playful smile on his face
as he wave out to you
and say
such a good day, love
coffee on a rainy day
is like
coming home
after a physically laborious day
to the softest mattress
with new sheets on the bed
pillows just captured
the warmth of sunshine's breath
as it cuddles
and pampers
your tired aching body
coffee on a rainy day
is like
listening to the whistling wind
accompanied by the sound
of a distant violin
capturing your breath
leading you to such stillness
there is
silence in the soul
though the melody
goes on
and the children outside
oh how they sing
so out of tune
but within you
you hear
only the voices
of them cherubims
whatever it is
you prefer
a cup of tea,
a freshly squeezed juice,
a refreshing glass of water
or the good old me
each day is wonderful
for those
who choose it to be.
