~Coffee Flowers~

“The flowers that smell the sweetest are shy and        

 lonely”-William Wordsworth

it was 

a rainy 

morning

the trees

were reaching 

and yawning

the smell of lilies 

was strong

and warmed

the cold

you came back

with a smile

in your bubbling eyes

you handed me a bag

inside it was full

of my favorite coffee

Mexican mocha’s in cans

the kind

of flowers

you know I would remember

and this gesture lit my heart

warmed the forgotten

corners

that are meant to be

hugged

sometimes

when

it all

too much

but the fog

will clear up
