How beautiful

to become aware of yourself existing

to wake to the tiny pleasure

of a warm brioche

and cup of coffee, interrupted only

from the paper’s bad news

by the brief commotion of

a woman in yellow

losing her scarf to the breeze,

startling the realisation from you

that such a moment maybe everything;

a quiet cup of coffee

on a breezy morning in spring

life still lifting

it’s warm lips to yours.

Really like this one Tom. I've been working on one very similar the last couple of days; same setting, same theme but I've not been able to make it pithy enough. And now you've beaten me to it! ? Great work.
