Slender light green leaves
floating at the top of my
boiled honey infused water
take me onto a unique trip
of saturated calm and peace
as if my feet are immersed
in sand particles on Erie Beach,
or my feet are constantly wet
by the incoming tan water
coming from the Yellow River.
Honey smooths the texture
of nature’s green goodness
as it travels down my throat
soothing and relaxing me
as if I am floating in the salty
foamy haven of Patong Beach.
Drinking a cup of nature is bliss.
It is spiritual to me
It is relaxing to me
It is calming to me.
It is imaginative to me.
I take a time travel back
in my memory of travel
while sitting calmly sipping
and being present in the
joy of my lovely teacup.
