Message in a Mug
You came in a box of tea
A little message
On a piece of string
To give weight and pull
Its practical function
On a fragrant tea-bag
The message modestly
Hangs over
The blue-flowered mug
Forget-Me-Nots
They seem
The hot water pours
Soothingly
Into the mug with a yellow sea of blue flowers
Steam showers upwards
While two eager hands
Embrace the garden-arrayed mug
Lifting
Appreciative & Grateful
Mmmm... nice cup of hot tea
And in my favourite mug
Silent words from the heart
Only seen
In that knowingly satisfied smile
Oh, a message!
Always fun to see
The Universe writing to you
You love it!
The Universe loves it!
Its signs to see
A gift for you
Orange-rimmed glasses
Small print
Just two words
Must be a jewel
Clothed in perfumed chamomile
Waiting to be read
Knowing that reading
Necessary is not
For messages come in all directions
For you to see
For you to receive
A Gift of Gold
Two fingers excitedly hold
The humble message
Honouring & Enjoying
The Universe's mirth
Noticing miracle messages
That can come in the dozens
Gifts for you
Intimate conversations
Received by the Heart
Oh, send me a message
Universe of Universes!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Hmm... Here it is...
Ah...
Be heard
The seven letters
B
e
h
e
a
r
d
Dance into the open heart
Laughter & Recognition
Deep deep contentment
Yes, I'm paying attention!
Ah, so apt!
Of course
Can one doubt the aptness of a sacred message?
Be heard
Be heard
Be heard
I take a sip of daisy tea
Chamomile wrapped
In a bouquet of Forget-Me-Nots
OK, OK, I get it!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Forget-Me-Not
More messages?
Be heard
Sip, sip, the hot liquid
Spirals in between the Words
Words of Alchemy
Mmm... Alquimiaaaa
Chamomile Daisy + Forget-Me-Not + Love + Gratitude + Openness
= A Message from You
Be heard
The alchemy does its golden chemistry
The Words transform
This moment
This eternity
This stillness
No time needed
To say
To hear!
Be heard
I lay down
The Messenger Mug
Close the eyes
Savouring & Relishing
The simplicity of it all
The complexity of it all
The delicious mystery of it all
And I rest
In the Sea
Of
A Never-ending Alchemical Elixir
Of
A two-worded
Message from the Universe
Be heard

| Here is the mug and the message :) |
And some honouring needed:
The title "Message in a Mug" is inspired by Sting's "Message in a Bottle".
Now I want to hear the song so I'll share it here too. :)
Oh, and the tea-bags with messages are from
Traditional Medicinals, Organic Chamomile
