Tea Shop Serenade

Following the garden path
the perfume of the roses wafting 
towards my senses 
As the gentle music of
the song bird allows me to be present
To water trickling from the meandering
brook purging blood
from my lonely self

Encompassing sweet sensations
brings me an ease of a tumultuous 
past. All temptation subsides.

My footing grazes the cobble stones
reassuring me of moving forward 
past my ill heart
that only the blue jay understands

Lost in the mural overshadowing
raspberry orange tea, I come back to 
the present as my pot of tea once hot
now tepid. The jazz overhead 
clears my mind.
