Everlasting Moments

Take what I can from the day
Hold some of it and release
Empty out my lungs for a moment -

Momentarily find peace
Instead of letting thoughts run circles -
Running rampant in my head
Attempt to find stillness
Collecting all the nice things you've ever said
Like picking out stars
Effulgent in all that onyx 

Overcome by all the noise -
Focus only on the harmonics 

Holding heat in my hands
Out of touch with all the rest
The miracle of hot coffee 

Chasing coldness from my chest
Observe the rising steam
Fluid in the air
Fading with each breath
Ebbing without a care -
Everlasting moments reside there
