Tempest of Scattered Leaves

Tempest with a little bit of lemon,
then read the tea leaves as they fall
in oft tangled messages
from the winds of second heaven,
or from heated winds of hell
shrieking across the wild land
to find me in the peaceful cotton groves
where for now I safely dwell, 
and where the sun has come 
and where the moon has gone
in patterns of steadfastness,
and where winds of change now thrum
warning me to flee before the tempest
takes the lemon from the tea
and scatters leaves so I can’t see
the meaning of my lifelong quest.
