Fear

Photo of a poster on a wall that reads “what if it all works out?”

Afraid, I hold back
leaping into the unknown;
trying new coffee.

Cosy

Close up photo of the latte art on a coffee in a keep cup.

Down an alleyway;
cold mornings and coffee shops
warm hug in a mug.

Clarity

Close up photo of coffee in a mug, with the froth on the edges of the mug and the liquid forming path that’s clear of froth.

Staring at coffee
waiting for the clouds to part,
for my path to form.

Drink up

photo of a glass coffee cup, half full, and a water bottle on a table at an airport

Double-dose caffeine
homeward on a long haul flight—
hydration is key.

Balance

Close up photo of a cup of coffee with a swirling art.

Swirling in a cup,
yin and yang; coffee and milk—
a balancing act.
