Tea Time

by

Doug Larson

Sit with me a while
please
I will fix us some tea
Earl Grey to match the day
I've cleaned my picture window
the view is unstreaked and clear
we don't even have to talk
if you don't want to
we can just sit and steep
in each other's company
for a while
warm for the moment
and watch the leaves turn red
and the grass grow brown
or we can just look
into each other's eyes
sip our tea
and hold our gazes
our own reflections staring back
fish eye views on glass paperweights
warm and safe inside
away from the fire outside
that burns

NEXT?
Why don't you look at When I will be long gone
