Small sips of tea
Make me smile
Make me contented
Make me experience life with its pauses
As I sip-in my small sips
I experience contentment
Nothing more is needed
Nothing more is desired
As I appreciate the silence inside
As I enjoy the noise outside
As it captures small moments, making them full of bliss
Filling them with what we call life
As it prolongs the pauses
As it enhances the quietness
As I merge the silence inside and the dynamism outside
Neutralising the extremes
Some newness emerges out
Making me ready to go through the variations
Making me fresh to enjoy the rides
Experiences of life seem to diffuse in small sips
Sad ones get absorbed
Happy ones get enhanced
Enabling me to forget the gross and the subtle
And the ‘Self’ expresses itself in the gross making it blissful!
