[hometext] => An allegory of life, from the perspective of being tea in a Tea Ball on the stove. Odd as it is for my works, it has a nice happy ending too. I hope you enjoy.
[bodytext] => Locked up secure,
In this little round ball, The world is so big, and I am so small. The things around me float on past taking a small part of my soul along for the ride. Sometimes, the parts return. Sometimes, I get other’s parts. But slowly, everything in the world becomes the same golden color, has the same meaning, the same flavour, the same aftertaste. But you know something? That’s okay… For, after a while, When nearly all the flavor Has been sucked from my bones, I will be thrown away, Just like all other teas. That’s okay, though… Cuz my flavour will stay, Mixed in with the rest of the Flavours in the pot, On the stovetop, Resting in peace.
