A Writer's Best Friend.

Coffee.

Steaming
sweet
warm
and oh so--
comforting.

The warm porcelain mug held loosely between your fingers,
and the smile on your face as you lift it to your lips.

Sweet
warm
comforting.

Gears turn and
words become thoughts
thoughts become
sentences and sentences become--

More coffee. Another sip, the hot mug pressed against your lips.

--stories
poems
everything comes to life.

The hurried clicking of keys on a typewriter
keyboard
the soft scratch of a pencil on rough lined paper.

Inhale,
exhale.

More.

Warm
sweet
comforting.
