HOT WATER
A renewing brew that heals the broken
sipped over bouts of contemplation
spreading its natural goodness
Hot water poured over browned seed
Ground to a powder drowned in essence
Burning midnight, awaking the senses
Keen awareness in every cup
Hot water blended with extract of grape
Fermented, Cinnamon scented, liquid gold
Curing the febrile with a recipe old
Searing the tongue with its sweetness
Hot water infused over medicinal herbs
An ancient yield as old as the Earth
Numbing the ache and offering rebirth
to limbs and muscles worked up
Hot water soaked anytime of the day
Be it tub or shower, jacuzzi or bucket
Soothes the strain and helps to forget
The weakness of the exhausted spirit
