tea, it is best to taste <br />the new sprouts <br />fresh, tender, velvet <br />sacred inches of yellow green <br />that smile to the new day and <br />invite us with open arms <br />to be picked and savoured <br /> <br />sealed within each new leaf <br />are the glitter of health enhancing first light, <br />intellectual infusion of the moon <br />invigorating mountain air and <br />the subtle rejuvenating energy of dew <br /> <br />tea, inches of nature's best <br />blends in spirit with spring water <br />to shower us with a sparkling tonic <br />so that we too can be charming <br />and refreshing as young tea leaves<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-tea/
