Awakening

morning thoughts

Life should be

neither a dream nor nightmare

but

an awakening

inspired by

a latte and honey toast

[W. Barrett Munn]

Morning is encouraging me to stop and examine thoughts, to make a note and hope to weave this morning into a poem.

Seems whatever your intentions - simple or otherwise, you see morning as another chance?
Many thanks for your review, sir.

Dreams, Nightmares, and toast I know but who is Latte? I am inspired by memories of my past, the accomplishments or failures of others, and random strange out of focus imaginations that wander in and out of my otherwise unfocused thoughts of what if. such an encouraging write, thank you waking me up. -carl

the "awakening" and the sweetness of your latte and honey toast inspires me ... the complexities of life ... neither a dream nor nightmare ... brought down to a beautiful moment .. a cleansing breath ;)

Wonderful words Emma beautifully arranged this morning.

[Ken e Bujold]

the beauty of this poem Emma rests in the open to interpretation first line, in particular, "should" which allows the reader to choose: advisory or admonishment? after several readings I am still not sure which: so I am off for coffee, nicotine and eclairs :)

Milk and honey. Maybe the greatest motivators in all of history. My land of milk and honey begins with a fifteen-mile long driveway to some woods with a creek... If I could only find the address

[emmajoygreen]

Send out the sniffer dogs - the creek is there somewhere, Vol! Meantime, sending honey toast via pigeon post. Lov e to both.

Some religious traditions hold that this physical life is completely a dream. I wouldn't mind waking up to a latte and honey toast, but truth be told, I'm a Starbuck's House Blend guy.

[emmajoygreen]

To each his or her own, sir! Enjoy your soon to come treat. Sipping and nibbling mine as I type. :)

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Love the comfort, the mellow tone of this poem dear Emma. Yes, life should be golden, like “a latte and honey toast”, offered on fine china by a sweetly consistent muse. It should instill within, nothing less than a seed awaiting lyrical birth…oh if only…

[emmajoygreen]

My dear friend and much, much more, your mind flies the same journey as mine, always has done. Lyrical birth exists to use whenever, no matter perfection - it just needs to come from the heart. Best love and many thank yous, dear
Annette.
