Earl Grey keeps me company

On certain days at teatime,

At moments when

Chill breezes blow,

When shadows fall

Across the lawn,

When  raindrops

Bead my window pane,

Or, snow blankets

Hedges and trees.

The teapot is wrapped in its cozy,

And cup and saucer

Are poised at my side-

I sit contentedly by the hearth,

Sit for a while

To contemplate,

The cat snuggling in my lap,

Purrfectly at rest

 In its surroundings.

The world is at peace,

At least, for a while,

When I make room

For a cuppa tea.
