As I stumbled into an adorable cafe I noticed in a new part of town, shaking my umbrella off and stomping my boots into the welcome mat, I quickly felt the warmth and sweet smell of coffee and fresh pastries..

There was a tall cactus potted at the end of the bar

A cobalt blue and gold espresso machine

And cute wooden tables nestled along the window’s lounge

Each with a petite succulent and tea-light candle..

It felt like this was my second home, and I’ll now live here part time with my laptop

Writing these poems

Learning Photography skills and planning my future

As I sip on Cappucino’s

And Mocha’s

And Piccolo’s

And when it gets warmer, Iced Matcha Latte’s..

But right now, this was my little slice of heaven

And I’m going to sit here all day, snuggled up against the window in my lounge seat

Watching the rain fall and letting my mind bake

Soaking in the warmth of the fire place burning at the end of the room

As I become one with my dreamland in the clouds

Of idea’s for what I can make of my next chapter

All thanks to this adorable little cafe

That was someone else’s idea from their dreamland

How lucky I am to now be here, in this idyllic, idea brought to real life

Paid forward for people like me to sit in and enjoy to create my own
