As Morning Sits, I Tap On Cup

I slam my fist.
That life, I miss.

My morning sits, steaming while
my mind in fits
refuses to accept
this sensation left
deep within me...

Inside
I scream.
Circling the edge,
I tap on cup

no peace felt
with lack of trust....

I sip my coffee,
glance away

smile, while saying
have a nice day.

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love. Axel Ekenstierna

I feel like this

To the enth degree

But 22.30 on a Saturday night

and my mind

is just trying to catch up

on dreams
