What Remains (2025)

Tea Time Stories: The Alchemy of Remembering

What the Day Remembered

tea shadow remains

light pressed its breath into dusk

what the day remembered

From the Rim of Time

remember me

by the breath that stays

on the rim of time

The Breath of Decay

seed breathes its ending

earth listens, roots take the word,

life begins again

Four Tannin Tales

tea stains remember

silence steeped in gentle light

time folds, then returns

Cups of Memory

remember me

by the light that lingers

in the cup of memory

Circle of Return

light folds into leaf

tea breath carries time soft hue

the circle returns

Fragments of Afternoon

soft tea light lingers

a line breathes where memory was

fragments of afternoon

Memory in Bloom

brown breath on old blue,

what fades become fertile ground,

memory takes root and bloom

Circle of Remembering

tea moon holds the past

gold breath rest upon the edge

circle of remembering
