I came early that day, wanting to embrace the caffeine and let it jolt my sleepy senses. A delightful dance of the ordinary and the comfortable, the custom of sipping the black drink unfolded in tandem with the whispers of conversation among friends.
A symphony is played with every drink, with the sparrow's song acting as a tune and the mild noon breeze acting as a conductor's baton inside this organic orchestra. The rhythm of the day was abruptly disrupted by a high-pitched chuckle, followed by a dramatic crescendo. Curious and interested, I looked for its origins.
The inspiration for this disruption was right there, a few chairs away. Saying that she seemed like a figure carved from pure allure and that her laughter was a tune that could make the heart dance is not hyperbole. Her presence was like a brilliant splash of color on the dull canvas of a typical day; she had a unique charm.
What had formerly been an eruption of nature all around me shrank to her and her alone. Her gentle remarks, her teasing chuckle, and her sporadic looks around her came together to paint a vivid picture of life itself.
My cup of coffee had been long since empty in my preoccupation, and I had no idea that my stare had changed from a sly glance to an open appreciation. I hadn't seen such a stunning exhibition of beauty in a very long time; it caused a rush of emotions inside of me that radiated inspiration in all directions…
Isn't it amazing how a straightforward, unaware presence may softly move the soul without purpose or effort and awaken a dormant inspiration?…
