My reflection wobbles
up and down
the dark sides of the cup I’m holding;
features fade in and out,
as I sip the bitterness of coffee.
The question that comes to mind is,
am I coming into focus,
or slowly disappearing?

OMG, I had written something similar. How some feelings are eternal...
ah yes, on the upward climb or on the decent, that is how I read this......and where is that middle ground. If I am living it and it is all downhill from here, I wish I could take off the skates......
grounds for evidence :)
halfway up or down
if you ever find out - let me know
got a wry smile from this one
thanks pat
honestly as i read this, it's all i could think of was my depression...the comings and goings, the ups and downs, the bitter taste, the need for a taste of sweet honey, sticky sweet honey to hold me together...maybe i should just write my own poem..
Either way drink it and live it fully!
either way, let's get the most of what's left :)
love it!!
very nice effect this has. i enjoyed it. hopefully you're coming into focus :)
better be focused..
well-said Pat.
I like this theme very much!
sounds like every morning for me -- really.
A good coffee time question, Pat.
Enjoy your day.
very piognant!
Enjoyed... every man's (& woman's) quandary (although for some it would be over a cup of tea).
A misty rumination! ... and when you're only halfway up you're neither up nor down ... ;-)
(You edited that fifth line?)
Yes, good question for all of us!
interesting poem...leaves much to ponder, well done!
Hopefully coming into focus
Focus, Pat, focus!:)
The beauty of caffeine is, you can be pretty sure you're coming into focus.
