Carrier of Comfort

The warmth spreads from fingertips to palm

as I coddle the delicate teacup.

Wafts of steam stream into the air.

Aromas of cinnamon, cardamom and pepper inhaled bring soothingness.

I tip the cup.

Sip. Warmth fills my mouth.

My tastebuds catch the spices and dance through the swallow.

Comforting heat cascades down my throat eroding stress with its calming flow.

Such liquid lovliness- carrier of comfort.
