Sky before the eyes
a soup of stirring visual entrees,
to induce the seasonings in the heart,
filled with the cinnamon zest for what paints the soul,
blended with a lime zeal
that always seeks to spice the day
with condiments,
which give each morning such intensity.
It is an airy casserole that satisfies
those hungers to feast on more than food
and taste of mixes to charge the spirits,
as sanguine streaks and emerald strokes
seep inside to endow with a stew
of elation and euphoria’s rapture,
the condiments bringing to boil
a tea that simmers within the mind.
So full of nutrients
giving orbs a peek into paradise
dwelling between the horizon and sunrise,
prepared by a blink
for the sip to come,
no complaints that it will bring a new taste
unto the morning,
much sweeter and exciting
than the meals eaten before.
