The candle light flickers

My tea is warm

The world is at peace

Flames dance about

Smells of candle and tea infuse

I’m living in this moment

There is peace

The world is calm

Everything is as it should be

_

Wax begins to melt

Water begins to cool

The moment is changing

The candle wastes away

A cup of tea nearly gone

Time is fleeting

There is peace

The world is calm

Everything is as it should be

_

Flames die out

A tea bag remains

Another moment gone

Breathe in the smoke

Put away the mug

Watch the clock move

There is peace

The world is calm

Everything is as it should be

_

My candle is replaced

My tea water is boiled

The world is at peace

There are more candles to be lit

More cups to consume

I’m living in this moment

A new candle is lit

My tea is warm again

Everything is as it should be
