# Coffee

I wish my coffee would drink me back,
to tell me how he handles a life in the dark.
No matter the flavor or the hour of the day,
his devotees are ready for yet another taste.

Even when half-empty, the cup knows what it holds.
The less coffee there is, the bigger moods it molds.
Oh, dear coffee, teach me the way,
to value each moment, to cherish every day.

Effortlessly tasteful, from different regions and different tones,
it remains present while everybody’s on their phones.
Coffee knows its power, in silence with no doubts.
People will take him with them, no matter the route.
