Sonnet!♥

The Way of TEA

Sado, the traditional way of tea
Has been around for many centuries
It may seem simple but surely it's not
There are steps to take and the tea is hot!

The soul needs to be cleansed and purified
The mind has to be free of any thoughts
One must breath deeply and fully relax
In order to feel the serenity

Green froth forms inside the beautiful bowl
The matcha is whisked to a perfection
The fukusa is folded and replaced
While the bowl moves across the tatami

Savor the sweet and unique wagashi
Because soon after comes the bitter tea!
