Tea

We met in Heaven and hung in freedom Laying in fields of clover and joy Just thoughts and unable to express our love You were wonderful and I called you Beauty Mine God met with us and readied You will go where I send and wait I had forgotten you until prayer It was then I heard you calling He I saw you in my dreams and danced again Tried to recall but there were no answers I picked you and you picked me But it was cloudy there Sun Your eminence diminished and the shining We promised to wait until GOD sent his signal And I waited at the crossroad My lovely came to me and whispered Well met I saw you walking across the lawn You caught me and the photos My heart was full and the snapping and flash I remembered and thanked God My lovely The wedding came and love The rice was thrown but you Always you and your warm hands The heart which I waited took Released We were well met But we had to go our separate It wasn't convenient Silently and moving Love was placed in the freezer Ritorno Return to me Our love can be thawed We can baste and nurture You bring the best of me Tea And the leaves crushed Water boiling and rolling Only the finest China We were freshly brewed
