My Adventures in Tea pt.5

ORGANIC CHAI

The spices weren’t as strong

As I remember them being.

I imagine that the dryness

Of the teabag faded

What they might have been

While fresh, new leaves.

But the hint of a memory,

Of a moment was sufficient

And I took what solace

There was possible

In faint recollections

Now less pictures than ideas

Of what transpired,

Changed my life forever.
