Slowly we have a cup of tea - A beautiful poem wrote by my friend Jing Gandy August 17 2017

After a lovely tea time with my friend Jing, she wrote me this sweet email and told me she never had this much tea in her life and she would definitely have more tea from now on, at the same time she wrote this beautiful poem which I couldn't resist to share with everyone, with her permission of course. :))

Slowly we have a cup of tea

-        by Jing Gandy (丁冬)

Are you free?

Free from all the troubles that never end,

Just come and sit face to face or side by side.

It doesn't matter,

Slowly we have a cup of tea.

Forget the tears of your eyes from last night,

Just watch the birds flying high and free,

Feel the breeze from the ocean and the warmth from the sun.

I won't say a word but smile and be your company,

Slowly we have a cup of tea.

Never mind what has happened before,

Just listen to the rustling of tree leaves,

Smell the fragrance of roses' virgin bloom,

No need to explain,

Slowly we have a cup of tea.

Honestly, are you free?

Free from the time that will never stop,

Just come and sit hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder

It doesn't matter,

Slowly we have a cup of tea
