We Sip Our Tea
i reside in a world of nature the super moon invades my bedroom lights my dreams
in the morning the sky the softest shades of pink and blue the mountain a rich dark blue
everything is silent even the church bells are silent the day begins
rulers of the night on silent footsteps retreat to sleep
the wind lays down to sleep the sun rises the dried grasses greet the new day
all seems to be waiting it is the pause in the symphony of life we sip our tea
i recently visited in a world that isn't so an urban experience all quiet unnatural
lunch on the 36th floor see the city from above as if i were a hawk or a bat
gliding through the air catching bugs high above the trees driving in cars
racing the freeways walk on concert park on asphalt
houses all crammed next to each other lights blink off and on all night long
the silence has escaped it is a world of “fast noise” bright lights
the stars have disappeared faces unfamiliar we sip our tea
