An even line, beneath the rim.
Fortitude of self within.
A fine line's gold, beneath the edge--
just enough to make lips dread.

A fan of fingers behind glass--
leaves of tea portend the past--
patterns lie in future's spread.
Saturn sighs in voice of dead.

Just enough to make me weep.
I search of you--within tea leaf.

Lovely writing.  I use tea bags.  I'm frightened of what I might see.  Joyce

serenity:  I enjoyed your poem.  My grandmother used to read tea leaves and it was uncanny how many times things she said she saw, came to pass.

Thank you all very kindly--I realize I'm not here much--but I am determined to start to get to know poets from other the less traveled forums as well...it's been to my dismay to discover that I have neglected so many talented poets--Thank you...I will be back to read after "rush hour" is over.

Wow from me, too!
This is delicately woven with a mystical sense --
holds a bit of a shiver!
