A Winter Morning Poem by Billy Loving

A bone chilling winter morning
Wood stove long ago burned out
Springing back to life as I light the kindling
An aroma of brewing coffee fills the air
It's warmth radiating throughout my body
As it slides down my throat
While contemplating, I sip
A refreshing sunshine bursts through the window
Filling me with optimism for the upcoming day
Temperature steadily climbing within
As my wife cooks the morning breakfast
My mouth watering in anticipation
Heartily I eat my morning feast
Bundling up to meet the brisk cold
A final loving kiss as I go out to meet the day ahead
