A Little Warmth

Plop…Plop…

Two dollops of honey drop

down to a steaming pool

of crystal-chrysanthemum tea

I stir, it swirls

soon to soothe

my anxious heart

of its worried hums

Clink…Clink…

chimes the spoon 

upon the porcelain rim

I tip the teacup 

to my lips

and drink its warm

embrace.
