Silent Coffee Time.

Goldfinch60



There they were

Sitting side by side,

Not a mobile to be seen.

He was reading a letter,

She was doing a crossword,

Not a word crossed their lips.

    And then the other day you saw someone who did not stop talking!
    A fine write Gold. I suppose things are necessary in this day and age.
    But, as we know - I saw someone crossing the road on their text-phone thingy, oblivious to traffic!

      I saw someone on his 'phone trip into a fountain!

          Silent sips
          no moving lips
          with silent scripts
          their thoughts eclipse.

          • Goldfinch60

            Their days became bored
            but the coffee must be poured
            and pass thought their lips
            that once when they kissed.

              That is just how I like to enjoy my coffee - fifteen minutes of silence.
              Persistence is key

              • Goldfinch60

                Silence is wonderful.

                • ForeverJesus7

                  Sometimes, it can be the healthiest thing for us.
                  Persistence is key

                  Hi Goldfinch.

                  A superb poem and thank you.

                  The simple pleasures of life are so enjoyable.

                  However, social media challenges this a great deal.

                  Keep writing
                  FineB

                    Thank you FineB, yes those simple pleasures are so wonderful.

                    No words required
                    Always new
                    Never tired

                    Wonderful observation Andy Thank you

                    Andy,

                    ‘Not a word crossed their lips’ because they valued and respected their “Silent Coffee Time”!
                    Loved the Johnny Cash song! He’s one of my favorites!

                    ~Laura~
