Storm’s Edge Brew
The rain, a drum on paper pane,
Grey skies, a world of chilled disdain.
But in the teahouse, low and deep,
Old Kenji’s secrets softly sleep.
Sencha’s leaves, a verdant steam,
A warmth against the storm’s harsh dream.
Rose oil’s whisper, sweet and low,
A fragile bloom where winds do blow.
Mandarin’s zest, a sudden spark,
A golden thread within the dark.
He pours the brew, a swirling green,
A refuge found, a quiet scene.
The storm may rage, the wind may bite,
But in this cup, a gentle light.
A taste of earth, of bloom, of sun,
A moment’s peace, when day is done.
