Green tea steam rises
from her morning cup,
like a daybreak fog
on a lonely road.

In the steam, abandoned needs
peer through the contradiction
of today and never,
forlorn in lost reflection.

What might have been succumbs
again to miasmic inconsistencies.

Resolved to solitude,
the fog remains...
while her tea grows cold.

Lori, I can only echo what’s been said so far. You do have a very gifted command of the English Language, and this though-provoking piece will linger in the memory banks long after I leave your remarkable Den. I enjoyed the read. Thanks for sharing it.

Lori,
Your title is MIS-SPelled unless you meant it to be that way.
I do not know. That is what Mr. Ed was trying to tell you!

Your poem is Fabulous and I absolutely Love it! The imagery is outstanding!
Lots of love,

This is astounding. Your use of the English language is remarkable. Green tea is good for her, but she is wasting it by using negative self talk.

I find this potent and poignant, Lori. It plays with the many ideas that "tea" conjures in the myriad of our life experiences, and seems to be so much "always there", like a good friend!! Sharing and losing yourself in the rising steam that remains though the liquid grows cold is such a powerful analogy of lost detachment. TY for this, it is so well crafted. Kate xx

I agree with Lady A..."abandoned needs peer through the contradiction of today and never"...to me it speaks of lost aspiritions and desires, and, to quote Jackson Browne, 'the quiet resignation that living brings'...Great write
