chai tea

the smells of cloves and cinnamon
simmering in warm chai tea
 
the spices linger and take ahold
reeling the senses beyond control
 
within ourselves all things exist
we think know and then we don’t
to feel the wonder of it all
the blessing is to amplify... the luminosity
 
be the change you wish to be
endeavor to embody... the quality 
 
come into awareness, aspire for wholeness
hold the intention to be at peace
 
and by all means enjoy a cup of tea

Tea is uplifting, I like a cup too, enjoy any kind but like the strong English Teas. My penpal brought me some and I can buy English Tea in the grocers too. I love my tea strong. It embodies the soul, and gives you a peaceful feeling. I know my wholeness is due To God, but becoming aware of myself takes some doing and to find peace is taking some work too.

As I am prone to do, when I try to get caught up, I go back and see what I have missed...
This delightful poem caught my attention immediately...
First, I am an avid tea drinker, although, I prefer green tea and earl grey to chai...but then, there are times when chai will only do.
Your composition in this piece with a blend of alliteration, internal and end rhymes gives it a lyrical sound when recited...
My friend, this is beautiful work.

Aromas, flavors, sights, sounds - each in their own way can take us somewhere unexpected and deeply satisfying. I love this poem and wish there were somewhere around my small town that I could get a good chai latte.

One of my favorites Debby - everything about Chai is satisfying.
"amplify... the luminosity" is truly an endearing phrase too! It's raining like a mother here today - a cup of simmering tea sounds delightfully efficacious. Thanks for the idea!
Light and Wisdom ...

When I read the title I thought this was going to be a play on the words Tai Chi..But it really was about tea, and good too...LOL

A delicious write, Debby; well done. Did you know that "Chai" is how you say "Tea" in KiSwahili? :) Another cup, please.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

A lesson for us all, and a hot cup of tea sounds pretty good, too.

So...what about those poor souls that only have a palate for java?
Take another cup of chai as I say...chao!!!

yum! i can't find any here :( - but your poem has shared a cup with me! :o) It is a special drink, and your poem is as uplifting.

Home. You didn't say a word - I didn't ask why,
I took the bag to the hut and wiped the blindness
from my eyes. Remember? It was just another beautiful day -
I brought the wood - you lit the fire for Chai.
