Just in case your wondering ( if you don't know ) Gloria Jean is coffee


steam rises,penatrating the skin
setting of a stream of high pitched voices
that live inside
its done, the black liquid that streams
out of a glass container
that can't contain it at all
its almost melting, the burns so intense
giving off the vibrant smell
old men smile as the waitress delievers
and picks up a spoon for each
they cheer as the world passes them by
from outside the window where a widow once stood
now the boy yet a man
crashes like thunder through the night
to see the waitress that is his
joined by the rings resting upon amber hands
and only the coffee can tide them by

Morning mist clings to my face, and my soul opens up to you......

Wow,Riley,that was beautiful! You have quite a way with words.You created such vivid and thought-provoking imagery.I really like your style.I think you should definitely submit this for the "Reflections" book.I vote yes!
Looking forward to more from you.

Peace,Geoffrey
