I Sip Orange Juice

I sip orange juice

I listen to emotion

It brings me new life

I eat curry soup and a pork sandwich

Brings me nutrition

I think

I ponder

What to write next

Then my heart tells me

Whatever makes my bosom warm and tug

And what makes it have that fluttering feeling too

I take another sip of orange juice

My thoughts circulate

Going

Back

Forth

And forward

And around again

I feel it coming out of me

The words pour onto the page

What song comes next?

A love song

Reminding me of loves lost

Of a love from my youth

My first love

Which was an unrequited love

It still is to this day

For we both chose separate paths

Still I remember the feeling

The emotion

Of days long gone

I’m now a quarter of a century

Will my days be filled with as much adventure

As the past younger days?

I sip orange juice

I listen to emotion

It brings me new life

I get ready for the latest adventure

My most recent journey.
