♥ tea is liquid wisdom.

made by julene.

elsewhere the world may be

 blustering or sleeping,

wars are fought, 

people live and die, 

some nations disintegrate, 

while others are born,

soon to be swallowed up in turn-

and in all this sound and fury,

amidst eruptions and undertows,

while the world goes its merry way,

bursts into flames,

 tears itself apart and is reborn:

human life continues to throb.

so, let us drink a cup of tea.
