Cup of Tea

Thank you
For this cup of swirling alchemy
Vortexing tannins, and
Slow aromatic revelations.
You drew it from the broad symposium
Of your vast pot, where leaves of tea of diverse kinds
Have clearly met, and touched, and fallen in love.
I told you how badly I dreamt in the middle of the night,
But now that is a silly history,
Boxed in context, long expired.
So, for this cup of reason,
And a smile,
Thank you.
