An Ancient Tea by William Burlingame

AN ANCIENT TEA 

 

Woodland green, 

pleasant walks, views. 

Small bench, fire pit, 

soft light, warmth. 

 

Nature’s comfort – flora, fauna. 

Quietude – space, mind. 

Reflected – reflective. 

 

Small fire, two cups, tea green. 

Ancient Master – ancient rules. 

Build a fire, boil water, tea. 

 

Time’s moment – his way. 

My love and I – and he.
