Jasmine tea

I remember 

Awhile back

I was sitting 

On a bench

Drinking 

Jasmine tea.

The sun

Was beating 

Down on

Me.

I was filled

With warmth.

I sat watching 

People

Going to 

Work

Couples

Holding hands.

I just 

Watched 

For hours.

I felt full

Inside.

For

Just that 

Moment.

So now

I stopped

Into a little

Tea shop

And I saw

Listed on

The board

Jasmine tea.

It made me

Smile 

Because

I feel

Like that

Day all the 

Time.

That warm

Jasmine tea

Day.

The man 

Behind the

Counter

Asked

What I would

Like.

I looked

Through

The list.

I will 

Have a cup

Of 

Blood red

Orange

Tea.

Nice choice

He smiles.

Thanks I 

Say.

I 

Take 

My

Tea and

Walk

Down the

Sidewalk.

No need to

Sit and

Watch 

Life.

I want 

To be in 

Life.

Taking 

Risks.

Loving

With all 

My

Heart.

My jasmine

Tea days

Are behind 

Me.
