The Morning Cup of Tea (Poem)
My Morning Cup of Tea—My Blissful Moments!
The morning cup of tea time,
Is my most blissful time;
When we both, just sit quietly,
With our hot cup of tea;
Reading the newspapers,
Feeling content, doing nothing;
With the mind being relaxed,
And the soul being rejuvenated;
Is it the effect of the brew, or the aroma,
Or, is it the attractive tea cups;
No dear—it’s the togetherness,
The companionship of a lifetime;
The feeling of satisfaction,
That we still have ‘today’,
The joy of watching the Sunrise together,
Makes us thank ‘His Grace’ silently;
For assigning us, yet another day,
Full of infinite possibilities.

AUTHORThanks BRENDA, for sharing your thoughts on this poem.
The morning tea is a habit for me and I enjoy it peacefully, to get ready for the day, both physically and mentally. In the winter season, it is more necessary to have it, for keeping warm. Glad you liked the theme of the poem.
Thank you and Have a good day.
Chitrangada,
You painted a wonderful peaceful picture in my mind.
It would be so nice to sit in the morning with a cup of tea sharing the company of another.
I only fix a pot if its really cold outside in the mornings.
Thanks for sharing.

It’s so easy to find happiness, in simple things of life.

Truly a special moment shared and captured in this beautiful verse. We love our morning coffee time as well. It sets the day in motion and starts the day off with conversation. Loved this poem.
A very blissful married life and you’re so lucky for being together.Two cups of tea are the best part of your life and great source of happiness and empathy.
Bless you!

Nice to know that you visited The World Parliament of Religions.
You are right, Tea is more popular in this part of the World.Most of the Asian nations love to have tea, and there are so many varieties of them.
Thank You once again!

Thank you MsDora, for reading and commenting on this poem!
Agree with your views. Tea or coffee can’t be enjoyed alone. It is the time spent with family and friends, that makes the tea time, or coffee time special.
Thanks for always encouraging me with your kind words of appreciation! Have a blessed day!

I am glad you approve of, my way of starting the day. People all over the World, think and act almost in the same manner. This is so heart touching to know.
Thank You my dear friend for your continued support!
2nd note: I went to the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1993. It was the 100th Centenary and the first since Vivekananda in 1893. There was a tea ceremony done by the Japanese, I believe. Incredibly beautiful!

Thank you Sean, for appreciating the poem!
You are right, togetherness is the first step towards blissful oneness. This pious relationship of a lifetime has to be nurtured with affection, understanding, commitment and care.
I am glad you could relate it to the blissful time shared with your wife.
Thank You so much for your kind words. It’s the positive feedback by fellow writers, such as you, that provides all the encouragement to keep me going.

"It’s the togetherness." I totally agree. Tea for two is so much more fulfilling than otherwise. Good read!
Best drink of the day. I run downstairs in my bare feet, put the kettle on the cooker to boil (have dispensed with the electric one) and take the tea and biscuits back up to bed where my partner and I read the latest news. There's something indispensable about an unhurried start to the morning, puts your mood on an even keel for the rest of the day. And what better than your poem to read too!
Oh, Honey, it's all of the above. To bask in the joy of being together and being blessed with a roof over one's head and to afford to drink tea out of pretty little cups along with watching a beautiful sunrise. For my house it is coffee, but the feeling is there.You have put it all into such pretty verse.
I must admit that I am not a purist in my reading, meditation and prayer. First things first. That wonderful cup of fresh brewed tea or coffee. Of course a walk outside together. Wow i am spoiled. Thank you for this wonderful tribute to possibly the most serene moment of a day.
Your description is lovely, Chitrangada. You've conveyed the joy of a precious moment in time beautifully.
I too feel a sense of calming with my first cup of tea. Isn't it a great way to start a day?
You've captured the feeling perfectly.
What an extremely beautiful poem!
I like it very much. Superb piece, my Didi Ji.
"... it’s the togetherness..."
I loved it, my dear friend, not only for the beauty of the image which reminded me the happiness of sharing time with my beloved wife, with a cup of hot coffee but for the knowledge that togetherness is the first step to the blissful Oneness!
Thank you so much for sharing Light!
Hari Om!!
Sean
Such a beautiful way to start the day and you captured it perfectly with your prose.

Thank you John, for your appreciation of the poem! Yes, the sentiments are real, not only of mine, but I believe of many others.
Appreciate your visit and positive feedback!
True, Chitra. The morning tea moments are the blissful ones. I do not even hold a newspaper. I simply sit sipping the tea, experiencing the togetherness and full of random thoughts.
Beautiful words and real sentiments, Chitrangada. Lovely music to accompany it as well.
