My friend - Tea!





 “Some people will tell you there is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.”–Ralph Waldo Emerson


Tea my forever mate,

Black, green, oolong, white or Pu -erh,

Never fails to please me.

Dreary days,

Teary days,

Days of cheerfulness,

Days of success,

The thought of a 

cup of tea,

Fills me with contented peace.

Situations are never so bleak,

For a cup of tea not to

remind me a reason to gleam.

Tea,

The constant reminder of the Lord’s mercies on me.

Sitting elegantly

in the old encrusted stout teapot,

Reminding of the endless conversations

Of the past 

Present 

And many more to come.

This calm-after-the-storm drink,

has the perfect aroma 

lingering the senses.

These tea leaves,

Make a fragrant bouquet for my life!

The Drink

Image
Make me a drink of stars, Steal them all, from the vast expansive skies. The bewitching skies, holding dreams infinite and unknown. Silver, green, crimson, white... pluck them all. Squeeze them into a magical elixir, and pour into that mighty silver chalice, standing tall and sturdy. Blend some adventure mysterious. Let the drink rumble and bumble, with the stories unknown. Sprinkle some stardust glittering, before it can go into me, quenching my ever-longing thirst, and fertilize my life in ways magical mysterious and unknown. © Meghna, 2022, All rights reserved.

Her Paradise

Image
  She danced under the quiet moonlight, In the nature-built mansion, Somewhere in the blue-black forest, With fragrant flowers in her hair, Clothed in radiance, Barefoot and with starry eyes, She saw beauty in everything but herself. The forest rejoiced her presence, Time slowed down, Moments to last forever. She danced to the divine tunes. With a free spirit, she danced to the melody of the wind in the dancing trees. The diamond stars were her diadem. The world she created was filled with beautiful magic. It was, is and will continue to be her paradise, for life to occupy in love and peace. © Meghna, 2021, All rights reserved.

My GOD!

Image
  An earnest desire! Today I saw you, in the moring light, I saw you in the flitting birds, I saw you in the misty dew, I saw you in the nimbus clouds, Now I see you in these words, I see YOU where my sight goes, I feel YOU in every heartbeat. Don't ever leave me, All I have is YOU. My, GOD, never go out of my sight, out of my mind, out of my life. Amidst, all the earthly activities, pleasures or sorrows, All I want, is YOU. Never let conceit take over, never allow sorrow infect, never allow happiness to fuddle me, but stand firm only in YOU. You are my happiness, you are my food, you are the living waters, you are my all in all! Please GOD, never ever leave me. All I want is YOU. © Meghna, 2023, All rights reserved.
