The Comfort Of A Sip by Lareena Abdul Haq

Autoplay

Memories struggle like
an ant
that fell into a cup of tea.

It may be retrieved
by your lips that sip
or a finger extended.

Yet,
in the nightmares
about being bitten
or crushed,
the ant gets lost.

In the attempt to wait until
a spoon arrives as a ladder,
I let the mind float
in the musical note
of swallowing a mouthful.

The tea
wets life
warmly.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

We desperately look for a lifeline when struggling with ourselves. And when a saviour arrives, we begin to believe in fairies and elves. Only when contemplated rationally, the problem unravels itself and a solution is visible not magically but logically. There is definitely something soothing in a cup of tea as evident from this poem.
