When new discoveries are made

The finds are so often splayed

In beds of beautiful flowers

Which fade after only hours



And such is the case when tea

Is served at places where free

And people are then turned on

To the flavor of a new song



Be it laced with hint of orange

Or soaked in spices so strange

As Bergamot, which provides say

The unique taste of Earl Grey



Or Cinnamon Stick or Lemon Lift

Both of which are nice gifts

To bestow onto a loved one

Whose heart is quite undone



For any of these flavored passions

Can lift one's heart and stash them

Full of goodness freshly imbued

With richness before it's stewed



So if you like your tea special

Then remember when you're jostled

To put on the kettle till boil

And pour boiling water over all



Your tea at once to get best flavor

And this will allow you to savor

The very best your cup can offer

Which will calm you as you soften



And relax to the tune of peace

Which will quiet you and lease

You steady time for the duration

Of your brew's full sublimation
