Jasmine and Poignancy

Jasmine Tea and Poignancy San Francisco and your soul's appeal. Sitting in that Japanese Tea Garden. You, whispering the readings of Lao Tzu. Surrounded by the afternoon fog embracing us,so! Swans swirled, serenely. Enchanting, endless, eucalyptus leaves,oh! We drank heavenly,hot jasmine tea. And quietly wept over the child we lost. To the prism of eternity. Fog and tears mixed silently.

A snapshot of a serene moment, peaceful scene reflecting with great verve and imagery on life and this world we all journey in my great friend! Tremendously strong closing two verses seals this gem.. A fav..

Happy holidays. Glad you caught the alliteration. Loss can bring couples closer or drive them apart, right? Who knows the glory of their future.-)))) Panagiota ...I appreciate your visit.

Such sadness...why are the most beautiful poems always so sad?

TS~ I don't see it as sadness. I see it as a painting. Re: sadness. People get attention by being sad, is my thought. Like, "He left me Poetry". I get it! We have all been there. Who hasn't lost a love? Music too, is about loss. This site has plenty of happy poems. I was trying to catch a moment in time, their loss happened, but they remained alive in the beauty of that SF setting. Panagiota xx
