have a sip of tea - life at first break

have a pot of tea.

imagine sipping from a warm pot of tea.

when you take that first sip,

what type of tea did you imagine drinking?

is it light?

bitter?

sweet?

was the flavor,

a delicate blend of chamomile and honey?

soothing your senses with its gentle sweetness?

'cause in a world transformed by a pandemic,

a pot of tea became a sanctuary.

its warmth embraced us,

a refuge from realities.

throughout the pandemic,

our lives transformed in unpredictable ways.

in that tranquil moment,

dreams are woven into reality.

dreams intertwined with reality,

a tapestry woven with hope and hardship.

so did you dream a dream?

'cause we did.

ever wonder how one pandemic has changed all of us.

for the better or not,

it depend.

across digital landscapes,

crossing oceans.

we found solace in newfound friendships from corners of the world we'd never have explored otherwise.

new friendships blossomed,

transcending borders,

defying oceans.

oceans were crossed,

not just in miles but in experiences shared.

we navigated this uncharted territory,

how was yours like?

ours was wild.

our shared journey wild and untamed.

some said sometimes it takes ten years to get that one year that changes your life,

ours did.

let me tell you our story for CreateTogether.

and you can decide on what you think.

life at first break.

your missing jigsaw puzzle was in someone else found,

in dusk-lights cast,

a jigsaw piece once lost,

a fragment of nej heart adrift,

was found by rugged hands mysteriously. through distant visions, it called,

bridging paths where echoes fall and souls entwine.

in serendipity's touch, a stranger’s find becomes the key,

fitting the puzzle of their lives,

where they meet face to face,

united by the piece that set them free.

it was like life of first break,

where their hearts were bound.

'til grey and old,

grapefruits dreamed when they meet,

they spun around the kitchen floor,

& so much more.

grapefruit stumbled upon it that day,

life seemed to pause at the break of dawn,

in its own unique, peculiar way.

grapefruit loves it now,

& loves it more.

to have and to hold, forever they swore,

'til they're old and nevermore.

when grapefruit caught sight of it,

it saw its whole life at first break.

it was life at first break, no more strife.

a stranger know it more than it know itself,

it was life at first break, feeling on a shelf.

it thanked the star for this fateful meeting,

but when it drifted,

it felt defeated.

if it touches this freezing pond so frosty,

a certain path, a mirage soft and ghostly.

the grass always seems greener beyond the fence,

yet the path ahead offers no golden defense.

fearful of what a decade may unveil,

seeking solace in strangers' gaze,

a silent tale.

it will not lie,

searching for you in strangers' window to the souls,

a silent crime.

almost fatal, each bubble inside it clings,

oohs, ooh, ooh, ooh,

'til the day it dies, and its tale fades,

fable unfurls.

took a wrong turn, heartbeats no blueprint.

terrified of ten years, what they may hint.

& the bubbles still holding,

still searching in strangers' gazes,

it believes in time travel,

back to that day, their mysteries to unravel.

in morning's gentle glow,

behold the sphere,

golden rind with sun-kissed hue,

jagi's juices bubbling, just for it.

secrets sweet, in morning dew.

beneath the skin, a world once more,

ruby flesh and droplets fine,

a citrus burst, so juicy, sharp and nectar, divine.

in every bite, a tangy thrill,

a dance of flavor, ripe to savor, quite a skill.

so pucker up, don't be shy,

grapefruit's here , let's give it a try!

its zesty twist and nectar,

a fruity treat that can't be beat.

but beware its cheeky maze,

it might just set off your alarm!

for in its shape and juicy zest,

grapefruit's joke is quite the jest.

fragrance whistles, crisp and bold,

summer's tale, in zest recapped,

each segment's tear, a crystal pool,

refreshing as a springtime's cool.

oh, dawn's jewel in every bite,

your wonders breeze through the night.

a symphony of tang and nectar,

'til a decade has slipped past,

& when they meet,

it bid adieu.

if you're holding someone else; that isn't it.

seasons pass by, silently out of sight.

winter arrives without fail,

grapefruit disguises,

though its breath wanes, frail.

shall it roam freely where it desires once more?

believing guac will come and see it,

just once,

even if only then.

touch this icy path, don't tarry,

many breaths wane, a silent melody.

as if they have reached its frozen heart's core,

as if spring has returned,

will it restart once more?

the seed that guac planted now matured and potent,

paying its dues, assurance lifelong.

will dormant seeds bloom afresh?

shall they wanders freely where they wish, through and through?

a jigsaw puzzle shape their lives,

revealing their path and fate;

they must grasp the whole picture,

then assemble it together piece by piece, fitting the lock to the jigsaw,

but now it is lost in the passage of time;
