Jazz & Coffee

effacing the claws of steel
in the hearts of stone
will be the brew of authentic brubeck
with jiving auroma from dancing ivories
on a fine walking bass line
watered down by the oh-so-swell smell
of the beans from the carribean
that neither saints nor monks could resist
the need to indulge and submerge thyself
into the sheer pleasure of soaking up every note
of the life's undoubtedly riveting potion of joy
that jazz and coffee bring to mankind

From a wise 14-year-old who reminded me of how to live life:

"Cherish life as it is, you'll be happier.
If there's one I believe in, it's that
everything happens for a reason."

Thanks for lighting up my life :)
