Tea with 'Abdu'l-Baha

Tea with
'Abdu'l-Baha

The Master
walked into my dream
carrying an elegant silver Persian tea pot,
with ten silver tea cups,
on a silver tray,

He stopped
in front of me,
gave me a cup,
poured tea in the cup,
and dropped in a sugar cube
before going on the the next person.

After everyone had been served,
the Master poured himself a cup of tea,
put a sugar cup in
and we drink our tea.

Poet's Note: ▼

This is poem #39 of the 100 I'm writing for the centenary of the Ascension of 'Abdu'l-Baha.
