A blessing for coffee
a poem by Harley Bell
May your first taste of the morning
be the welcome embrace of coffee.
May you stir slowly and rise
into the fullness of your senses.
May you bless the sweet, dark,
bitter and bright. Bless all creeds
that initiate your body.
Every cup contains the possibility of a miracle.
Each sip could bring you back to life.
May you remember the recipe
for the perfect infusion
of water and earth.
May your presence
meet with mine
and hold true
to our delicious promises.
Bless the simple miracle of coffee.
