Serenity in a Bakery

Far off

From the remains of the external world

I find myself amidst serenity

Blanketed in comfort

Surrounded by sweet sensations

Of freshly baked pastries

Steam slithering into disappearance

From a mug filled of bitter coffee

The rain demanding to be felt, seen, and heard

By writers,

Readers,

Dreamers,

Coffee drinkers,

Pastry lovers,

Older lovers,

And newspaper readers

I find myself neglecting the remains of the world

Far beyond me

Only in the best way I know how
