Night Tea

mgs

Teacup moon
holds a dark brew

Tipped then sipped
from full to new

Generously poured
and light infused

A savored moon
is divinely restored

    I had to look at a calendar to find out it’s waning; we’ve been overcast so long I can hardly even recall the moon (or the sun, for that matter).

    Your poem, though, is indeed the perfect refresher. Thanks, CR!

    I think this is a new favourite of your poems for me. I love your image of the moon. Amazing metaphoric language.

    The moon last night was awesome, over our lake, but I’m a coffee girl. <3 ya!

    Nice time and mood for moon gazing. You tell it good, though I’d of had a cuppa decaf.
