There it is!

Where did it go?
I know I just had it!
It was right here, in my hand!

But now it is gone
that cup
streaming
caffeinated joy
just screaming to be consumed

Now it's my glasses
I cannot leave without them
I have looked everywhere
All the old places
where I put them

So much of life is spent
looking
most moments I am looking for something
love, joy, hope
meaning?

Why am I here?
I know I understood that just a second ago
but now?
its gone

Ah there it is
sitting among the books still steaming
right next to my glasses

Ah there it is
in the first rays of the sun
kissing the mountain
with gold
molten joy!
