Sweet

Sweet, as salt is
When it used to calm a sore throat

Sweet, as pungent is
When it diverts from pain

Sweet, as rain is 
When it first touches the earth

Sweet, as the mind
That chooses to process only ideas 

Sweet, as the heart
That choose to filter in only beauty 

Sweet, as in the less sugar tea
When the conversation has picked up speed

Sweet, are you sure it's just a taste?
