Jasmine tea

When the road is dark and long,

And the night feels cold and wide,

Take a breath, pour some tea,

Let the storm pass by your side.

There’s a light in quiet hearts,

Not in power, not in war,

Wisdom grows like gentle leaves

Falling softly to the floor.

Life is more than winning fights,

More than pride and destiny,

Sometimes peace is simply found

In a cup of jasmine tea.

Leaves from the vine, drifting slow,

Stories only old winds know,

In the fire, in the rain,

Loss and love remain the same.

So be kind, and you will see,

Strength lives in humility,

Through the dark the heart can roam—

But kindness always leads us home.

You can chase the rising sun,

You can hunt for endless fame,

But the soul finds deeper truth

When it lets go of the flame.

Look for wisdom everywhere—

In the earth, the sky, the sea,

Even pain can guide your steps

To the person you should be.

If you’re lost along the way,

Do not fear the turning tide,

Every path can lead to light

When you walk with love inside.

Leaves from the vine, drifting free,

Like the life inside of me,

Every fall, every start,

Writes a lesson on the heart.

Share your warmth, pour the tea,

Let the world in harmony—

And the fire that once could burn

Be the light by which we learn.
