Sen No Rikyu
Come
sit with me
let’s talk
I see how upset
you are
I sense
indifference
It seems only past
intimacies
hold us together
I know that
can’t be
true
I know you
I want to fix
this
This thing
This unresolved
thing
This bad seed
germinating
Let’s blow
our combined breath
upon it
as we would
cool our tea
Let this gulf
dissolve
as the steam rising
from our cups
Come
sit with me
let’s
talk

Beautiful!! I resonate with; "Let this gulf dissolve as the steam rising from our cups."💝💝
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely poem. Sometimes, it's all we need to do, to sit and talk.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better than sharing a cup of tea
ReplyDeleteSo love this! Let's clear the air with tea.
ReplyDeleteWho could refuse such an invitation?
ReplyDeleteI love the invitational tone, Linda, and the offer of comfort. I love the lines:
ReplyDelete‘Let’s blow
our combined breath
upon it
as we would
cool our tea’.
There’s nothing like a heart to heart over a cup of tea.
