Having a nice cup of tea
with a friend and we sit
and wait for each other
as the tea also sits brewing
in it pot, waiting for us to
sip its strong , stringent joy.

We sit and wait in sadness
and in hope as the tea is
poured and then the milk,
and we sit and sip and
ponder this moment of
being together silent with
a beautiful cup of tea.
