Silence
silence invites me
into her kitchen
for a tea ceremony
not a word
passes between us
the sound of tea
being poured
more than enough

Mmm… I like the personification of silence here – and the last three lines – “the sound of tea/ being poured/ more than enough” – really finishes the image.

Thank you.
You had encouraged me to pick this up again and I’m trying to get the hang of it … thank you for your encouragement.

So beautiful
The stillness of a moment in time ❤️

So lovely – This poem inspires me to pay more attention to where silence is guiding me…next and to pay attention to what I experience and/or learn through insight.
