An Ode
Virginia Salter

I rise early in the morn
seeking time with you alone

To fill you with warm
or the freshness a new day brings

As I seek the roundness of you,
your full-bodied flavor

I leave my dreams
for more wondrous times to savor

Grasping hold of you
with all the sinew I behold

Allowing your warmth
to keep me from the cold

I gaze into your depth
the darkness edged with reflected light

Taking in the energies
when I reach beyond my sight

I draw you to myself
taking in your gift of vitality

Renewing my spirit
with a caffeinated reality

Feeling excited
and just a bit smug

Singing my song
to my lovely coffee mug

Would that mug be a Grecian Urn?
