My Morning Cup of Tea

In the pleasing hush of mornings I embrace warmth in porcelain A steamy cup of swirling fluid With a bit of sugar and cream Warming steel pot’s energetic tune Unfurling savory leaves with a spoon With lemon grass and grated ginger root A delicious aroma it whispers out Magic of the brewed tea leaves Infused charm on my lips An edge kissed by fragrant mist A progressive calmness in every sip
