I passed the time just me and my coffee
Sitting quietly by the street
The aroma of happiness filled the air
String flavored beverages and perfumes so sweet
I smiled and chatted at all who did pass
Sipping the essence of friendship as it warmed my soul
Others came and went as people often do
I sat contently enjoying life without a role
Despite my best intentions my cup became empty
Serenity turned to knowing, relaxation was at an end
I gathered up my paper and other such things
Morning was at a close, my work now to attend
