A teacup and a saucer
and golden tea inside.
Of bergamot and flowers
aromas mix delight.
And when you have your cup and think
ideas come back flowing
from far or near
wherever in your soul
you keep your dreams
and treasures.
***
What’s in a cup of tea
that set minds free
and lets them wander?
No barriers too high
nor bridges to stop light
and when you taste the flavor
with tangy lemon, sour-sweet, or jasmine hues
you get inspired
you feel, you breathe,
and bring new goals and wishes
Home.
***
Hang on, don’t hurry
to live on with your struggles
sip lightly from your cup,
ponder on reasons
and don’t give up too soon.
Just like all flavors
mix and bloom to taste the golden tea
you need to dive,
and conquer
the fears, qualms,
and doubts you keep
and are all set
to harm you.
***
Face them yourself
or with your loved ones
and in the battle
you can choose
a light.
***
The feather to bring back
all hopes, desires
and your goals
will keep safe heartfelt dreams
and breathe new life on each.
If you but tarry for a second
to sip and think
and keep
all new.
***
What was forgotten, lost
or borrowed
and never once returned
to you.
***
You do not lose
by waiting
for the right time to share
what’s in your heart.
The love
and laughter
that paints all
a different hue.
***
You could look at the same things
and see them all anew.
Just so, changing perspective
rethinking on a wave.
While you make tea
and taste it
and live awhile on flavor
for treasured thoughts.
***
They live again
when you have glazed your tea
with hope for new beginnings.
Remember
what you thought it all meant
for you.
***
