Coffee & Whiskey

Fire red roses stare at me as I drink my coffee, 

Flames of chrysanthemum awaken my fascination,

The burning light of sunflowers look at me questioning my sanity.

A glow from within as I sit on my soft chair and I know I've won,

I'm not a man of the cloth,

But, against the odds and pleasing to my thoughts 

I will succeed before the precipice of death,

And I will wake as I die

to breath a new air,

But that unending dark drop of death won't last,

As I will rise again.

Its upto strength to decide,

It's for determination to determine,

Only the unfathomable can fathom what lies ahead.

I wear my thick leather gloves, put my deck shoes on, sip some whiskey and set sail one last time to find what I'm looking for, 

That something, that ambition that will complete my life.

I steer the rudder and watch the sea,

Wave after wave, 

Hours pass,

My compass fails,

The radar is broken,

The lights are have gone out,

It's soon to be dark,

Time passes.

I wake and I see fire, flames and light all around,

The sea is still and my boat is guided by the light, 

I can't believe what I'm seeing..

The beginning of life,

The creation of joy,

The greatest gift,

I feel I need not want no more,

My demons have vanished,

Darkness has gone,

My dream is delivered,

Humility has won.
