I Will Take As Many Words As I Want To Write This Story

[b]-----Latte[/b][b]--- A Personal Blog[/b]




[c=#7700B2]We sat on the new rectangular short tables,

Bought for a store with cane chairs, also new.

Two wizened souls whose days of old shone like the sun above.

People stared.

Never cared.



He could weave a tale as easily as the spring sun could melt snow,

Pausing now and again to reflect ,perhaps on a secret

Known only to him and one best kept as such as his eyes glistened.

Patrons glared.

Never cared.



The Latte stood as much of a chance of staying hot as the cold brew

Had of staying cold. Nature weaving it spring magic so splendidly

Upon us as we told tales we had lovingly told before. The wind kissed us.

Smiles shared
.
Definitely cared.



A floral silk screened blouse and a pleated skirt, burgundy to match a mood.

A baseball cap and top button sport shirt. Relaxed moments at

Their best. He and her; seasoned warriors of a time long past.

Music blared.

Never cared.



Smiles abounded as the sun shone erasing the agony of winter as it warmed our hearts.

The same sun that could recall memories of a times long ago when the world

Was new and life was but an unwritten page; a blank easel waiting for it’s painter.

Youth laid bare.

Never cared.



We met as one and left the same,

Sharing sweet joys and devastating pain.

Memories, as a latte swirls,

For a well traveled man and this newfound girl.



A chance encounter?

A twist in time?

Never cared.

Fate is blind.[/c]

This is beautifully written. It reminds me of times I've shared with people I've met (or reconnected with) at our neighborhood coffee shop.
@TeresaRudolph71 Thank You. My coffee shop is my Cheers--where everybody knows my name. And yet, I usually sit alone at a table left to my own thoughts. I have seen the same at eateries over the years. They are great places for friend or families to meet. And yet, the coffee shop I always saw as a place for strangers, different and yet alike, to come together as one. A shared love of good coffee can be a great ice breaker!

Glad you read this!

@Elandra77 You're welcome. It must be nice to have a place like that to go to. I don't think any of the regulars at our neighborhood coffee shop know my name, but I usually just pass by, and only stop if I see someone I recognize, or if I just need a place to think by myself. I'm sure that can be a great ice breaker. :) I tend to like sweet beverages myself, but hot chocolate in the winter can be great too!

I'm glad I read this too. :)
