lilting lightly towards

 

the glasses clinking

            crescendoing quietly beyond

 

the conversation buzzing

            creating a colorful cadence

 

while the coffee beans wafting

            augment the senses

 

And then the Books

Books

Books

 

Whispering

Wailing

Sailing

 

to better endings

sinking

into the pages

and submerging

us into their symphony

of stories.
