Morning Cup
(from Brainstorms)
Do you fill your cup with coffee?
Or fill it up with tea?
With all your mental anguish,
Or possibility?
Do you pour it out for others
Leaving nothing left for you?
Steeped in good intentions,
The result a bitter brew.
Me, I fill my cup in nature,
With laughter and good friends.
By making time for myself
And a present, mindful lens.
If my cup is filled to brimming,
And teeters on the brink,
There’s so much more I have to share
As I offer you a drink.
