Ode to Coffee

Oh heavenly brew that awakens man's creative core,
In forest and desert, on mountain and shore,
Across land and culture of every hue,
From Mysore to Timbuktu.
Those that savour you
are the salt of the earth.
Indeed they have discovered
Life's true worth.
Let milk and honey for others be,
but from daybreak to dinner-
The way you invigorate me
Makes you truly the winner.
