Sipping Tea In the Mist
See the misty drizzle falling on the ocean
Tea steaming on your bungalow stove
Free particles of vapor evaporate
Tree limbs bow ‘neath raindrops as to shore you rove
Be at peace as you open your umbrella
Lee are the winds as they rock boats in the harbor
Ye who live a modest life are wrapped in thoughts of
He who dwells on the distant island castle, object of your ardor
Tea still releasing steam adds to the haze
Three tiny sips of chamomile put you at ease
Glee fills your heart on this dreariest of days
Wee crabs scurry forth, your toes to tease
