Tea Poem : "The Reflection of Tea" 茶が映すもの

"The Reflection of Tea"

In spring, reflecting the swaying pale pink cherry blossoms in the white fog was the tea.

In summer, collecting the sunset and the twilight sky growing dark was the tea.

In autumn, bathing the scattered shining stars and the moon was the tea.

In winter, dissolving the soft sunlight and white sigh was the tea.

Even though the tea seems the same, each time it is special.

Tears streaming down my cheek were soaked up by the tea.

The voices talking and laughing with friends blended with the tea.

The silence of lying alone, the palpitation or longing you feel like your heart might break,

the pain you could only wait to pass by, or a gentle wish ...

Everything is reflected by a cup of tea.

It's so precious to be in this moment and feel it.

The reflection of tea is the reflection of your eyes and heart.

茶が映すもの

春、白い霞の中で淡紅色の桜が揺れていたのを映したのもこの茶

夏、暮れゆくグラデーションの空と落ちる夕陽を拾ったのもこの茶

秋、まばゆく散らばる星々と月を涵したのもこの茶

冬、柔らかな日差しと白い吐息が溶けていったのもこの茶

同じ茶に見えても同じ時は一つとしてない

頬を伝う涙を掬いとってくれたのもこの茶だった

友と語らい笑い合った声もこの茶に混じり合った

ひとりきりの静けさも　胸が張り裂けそうなときめきや憧れも　

ひたすらに耐えることしかできない苦しみも　優しい願いも

すべてこの一杯の茶が映してくれた

この瞬間をただ味わうことがどれだけ尊いことだろう

茶が映すすべてがあなたの目　あなたの心
