I'm putting the tea to boil... finding a spot on the earth in which to sink, a heart string to play, my mind to think and untangle a knot of toil I'm putting the tea to boil Something warm to come porcelain cups and waiting lips hibiscus leaves and rose hips within the heart a thrum stirs a ripple in a steeping conundrum My last verse has gone missing it’s sound, sans words, lost half in slumber so half awake, and torn asunder, by answers hissing then bristling then comes the awaited harmony of a kettle whistling

Putting the Tea to Boil
When you have a problem to which you must commit Take a step back and just take look at it You often can't see the forest for the trees most will admit Things would be easier if you would just take a look at it When people are in chaos and throwing a fit Why can't they take a moment to just look at it? The power is in your hands if you would only permit To take the blindfold off and just look at it
