Thai Tea Light

At gecko gecko
Berkeley thai food
at the corner of milvia
and addison ...
This is the restaurant
That stayed, you say
After others tried here
Then folded
Gone...
The evening summer sunlight
gentle through the window,
spills across the table,
Suffuses iced jasmine tea
Into a
Sweet soft honey gold
The light captured
In splendid suspension
This moment of color
Reflection
In the waning day
How sweet
The life
When old friends
Hold dinner together
The gold that shines
So bright
Holds us
In this our-ness
Like sunlight held
Suffused
In us
We are
We are
We are
We and all
That has stayed
All that is well,
All that will be well.
