Haiku and Coffee 7.24.12 ~Doris’ Bakery~

Flaky chocolate shell, Filled with sweet, creamy goodness- Holy cannoli!

Legs crossed, eyes half-closed. Exuding warmth and pure joy- A laughing Buddha.

The Earth’s gift to us, Beaming light and energy- Sparkling quartz crystal.

All sizes and shapes, Semi-precious to costume- Bead Show with the girls!

Cloves and cinnamon Linger and dance on my tongue- Freshly steeped Chai tea.

Local produce cooked. The Mason jar lids “POP, POP!”- Organic canning.

Dew on blades of grass, Fog lifting, eyes opening- Rising with the sun.

A beginner’s mind, A journey to excellence- Never stop learning.

Bringing what you have, Exchanging goods with neighbors- A win-win for all.

Storm clouds rolling in, Halting the day’s outdoor plans- The Earth says, “Just Be.”
