A lady holds court with her own thoughts
and bedecks them with wishes and needs
but to bring them more in line with the times
she adds on a dream or two.

She offers each one a sip from her glass
for within is the wine of her mind
and she watches and waits impatiently
to see if the taste is alright.

Some frown, some sigh, some cry;
could it be her mind’s gone awry
and so perhaps a cup of tea
brewed from her essence of feel.

Within is the heat of passion, desire,
and it takes some time to imbibe
but time she has got to watch the clock
though restless she feels inside.

Finally then she throws in the towel
for they’ve made a mess of her heart
but warm, so warm, the feeling inside
that she knows it’s a very good sign.

And the moral of the story is
if you want to go, go, with a very good sign
entertain your thoughts with a cup of tea
brewed, of course, from the essence of feel!

Smiling here, and recognizing what may be
the Pips poetic posting process.

Passion is lived best without a clock I guess ...

I do love your poetic visions, dear Helen.
The restlessness is a very clear message too.

Very nice write!

Love and hugs.

Thanks Midnitesun! Yes, the poetic posting process but very much more as well. It could in fact apply to all and everything that we happen to be thinking about because the mind without the feel (heart) can certainly go awry - "me" thinks.

Dear Margherita - "Passion is lived best without a clock" - you are absolutely right! I've been restless before but never more so than now. Perhaps everything is more intense and meaningful the second time around.

Who else knew what a potent brew
That tea could be
Seeped from a power real,
The essence of feel.

A wonderful recipe and delightful poem.

Dear, dear, Helen, this was so great.
Your poems always have so many different meanings to me.
Always so very complex, and intricate in their making.

I hope this review finds you very well and in great spirits.

Take great care!

Thank you, Brett, glad you enjoyed.

RCL -

Yeah - that's how to write real poetry! I need an editor.

Richy - Thank you for your gracious reply which finds me well although a little bit unsettled.
