Yesterday's Coffee Quotes

“~Dance~

My fingers dance
On the set
Of ivory & black pirouettes.

I let go
While my fingers fly,
Making music through the night.

This is the best therapy.
A place of release,
House of freedom & relief.

My oasis of redemption.
My river of gentle.
My ocean of mental.

My mind is relieved.
My fingers are free
To let go, making music sweet.

“Deep

You, you’re deep water
And I’m scared because I can’t defaulter
I don’t know how to swim,
So, if I jump in,

I’ll be consumed by your waves.
I’ll try to keep my head above the rage.
But you’ll just swallow up my whole.
My entire being will be controlled.

If I were to dive,
I could no longer thrive.
You would consume my being;
Leaving me breathless, not breathing.

Is there a medium I can prescribe?
That would allow me to disguise
The fear I gather in my bones.
I just can’t swim in the water of morone.

Do you possess a life support
To hold me up? My last resort.
If I jump in, I’ll drown in bends.
Your love is suffocating, nothing can amend.

“~Stuck~

And yet, here I am again, flat on my face.
I feel like a disgrace.
I stand here at this crossroad and wait.

I know what I must do.
I just cannot move.
My feet, they are glued.”

“~Incomplete~

When it all falls apart,
Just fall into me.
I’ll hold you in my arms,
Gently.

I hope you agree that we’re
Meant to be.
Without you,
I’m incomplete.”
― Rachel Nicole Wagner, Yesterday's Coffee

“We only live in moments, passing us by.
As big as the sky.
They’re here and gone in the blink of an eye.

Don’t waste time thinking about
What you’re going to sprout out
Or what route you need to scout.

There is a reason for everything that happens.
Don’t worry too much and let in sadness.
Don’t let the thoughts throw off your balance.

We only live in moments, here and gone
Quick as a sunrise and slow as the dawn.
Please hold on before your moment’s drawn.”

“Christmas time is here.
You see it everywhere.
Wreaths hanging on doors.
Lights hanging on every house and porch.

It’s that time of year,
Where families gather for Christmas cheer.
Having eggnog
And loving God.

Everybody loves it, Christmas is special
To you and me
As you can see.

I love Christmas so much.
Celebrating Jesus’ birth.
He was born in a stable on that cold winter’s night.
He changed the world on that night, bright.”

“~Can You?~

In the depths of despair, I cry out.
Do You see me here?
In the puddles of tears, I die inside.
Do You know I’m still alive?
In the chair or prosecution, I am beaten.
Do You see the blood on my hands?
In the shadowlands of fear, I am lifeless.
Do You still have faith in me?
In the end of time, I fall on my face.
Do You see me weeping?
In the hurting eyes of others, I am heartless.
Can You heal me?
In the face of evil, I laugh.
Can You protect me?
In the church, I feel Your Presence,
I’ve forgotten how to respond.
Can You teach me?
In the fields of battle, I long for a shot,
To wake me up.
Can I start again?
When I look in the mirror, I see eyes,
Bolted up and locked with pride.
Can You soften my heart?
Can You give me hope?
Can You help me believe in myself?
Can You?”

“In the morning, when I am gone.
Don’t sit ‘round and mourn.
Just simply look up to the sun.

I’ll be looking right back at you.
You will all be okay without me, soon.
It’s not the end; it’s the start of a new bloom.

You will have better times than now.
Don’t reflect on the sad times, avow.
Think of the happy times, the years and vow.

I don’t want a bunch standing around my grave.
Straighten up and think of the happy days.
I’ll only allow tears of joy, be brave.

I will be right there with you.
I will keep an eye on you.
You teenagers better behave, I’ll be seeing your every move.

Every move you make on those nights, out late.
So, anyway, when I am gone in the morning, date.
Don’t be sad or mad, don’t hate.

Just look up to the sun, nigh
I’ll be looking back at you, wry
It was just my time to fly.
It was simply my time, goodbye.”

“I close my eyes and say a prayer,
That tonight you’ll be held.
I lift you up to the spare pair
Of shoulders that can’t be felled.

Tonight, as you sleep,
I pray your worries are wiped away.
May you wake up and not weep,
For joy will come in the day.

Let the bridge cover your worries,
Let the rain wash away the fear.
Let the shoulders hold your furies.
Let the sunshine bring you cheer.

Shoulders holding you high.
Arms shielding you from danger.
May you never have to cry,
On top of the mountainous glacier.”
― Rachel Nicole Wagner, Yesterday's Coffee

“How do I forget all this hurt and pain in the past?
How do I forget the last year that has passed?

How do I know that everything will be alright?
Is there a light at the end of this tunnel, so bright?

Will everything work out in the end?
Will I ever be able to love again?

Will this feeling and regret and guilt wilt?
How long will it take for my heart to heal?”
― Rachel Nicole Wagner, Yesterday's Coffee

“I don’t understand why?
Why me? Why now?
Why does everything happen at once?
We fall apart, just like that.
Everything was fine, then it all turns to dust.

I don’t understand why nothing feels right?
Why I can’t fight for my rights?
Why do my days melt together like snow?
It hurts me to know
That you might not make it below.

This horrible time in our lives,
Day by day, night by night.
Will I ever understand?
Will this feeling ever end?
Can the frayed be made amend?

I can’t talk to anyone.
I can’t let it out.
I’m gonna blow up, I gotta get out.
Can you hear me?
Restore my peace?

Why? I don’t understand.
Please put the broken pieces
Of my life back together and attend
To the needs of my screams.
Someone listen to me, please.”

“I want to be the one you run to.
I want to be the one you miss.
I want your arms to hold me through.
I want your lips to be mine to kiss.

I want to be the one you’re in love with.
Eyes opening up my heart like a locksmith.
I want to be the one you snuggle.
Together creating jealous couples.

Love is one of the greatest treasures.
Something that cannot be measured.
Take me with you on this journey.
As long as we’re together, there’re no worries.”
― Rachel Nicole Wagner, Yesterday's Coffee

“Listen with full attention.
Listen completely with no judging.
Listen to the voice inside.
With no doubt, hear every sound.
Don’t ignore or reform the words.

Just listen.
You’ll begin to understand.
Ever word being said.
Be quiet for once.
All you have to do is listen.

Do you hear it?
Do you finally hear what’s being said?
Do you understand Who is there?
Do you know that He cares?
He has always been there.

Did you know He listens to you?
Every time you called,
He was there.
He loves you.
Listen, He died for you.

So, next time you don’t understand.
Listen.
Just listen, with full attention.
Listen.
Just listen to Him.”
― Rachel Nicole Wagner, Yesterday's Coffee

“He is my Savior.
He is my friend.
He was born in a manger.
And died for my sins.

He still lives in heaven above,
Looking down on us.
He loves us so much,
Even if sometimes we’re dumb.

And so, we celebrate Christmas every year,
Loving God and bringing holiday cheer.
But we often get so mixed up in the spirit,
We don’t realize what makes Christmas.

It’s not about the eggnog, presents,
Reindeer, or even elves.
It’s about God who sent His
One and only Son, Jesus for us.

So, whatever you do this year,
Remember Christmas is about Jesus,
Not Santa Claus and Reindeer.
Merry Christmas, Dear!”
