I Sit in my aging indigo tea pot
Brewing dry crackling with time
Scorched by years of trials
Body scars or land mind…
Keeping my heart young
Yet not an easy task
Flowering memories kept
In the metal of my flask.
My spout a bit rusted
From use throughout one’s life
My handle old and wrinkled
My perk stopped long ago in strife.
Waiting to be tossed aside
Where teapots graveyards are
Or perhaps to transform
Into a flowering teapot from afar.
Set upon a a redwood deck
Among Yellow Daffodils and rainbow-colored Moss Rose.
Where I can listen to the sweet music there
Of bird’s symphony chattered up in maple trees rows.
Filled with the richest soil
Planted deep within
Watered with miracle grow
I’m thriving lush green once again.
No longer does the junkyard seem my fate.
I am once again useful
And I have a new gait.
With pastel colors growing my world.
But alas, I was once just an aging teapot…

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Eva Marie Ann Cagley
I was born and raised in Waterloo Iowa, where I spent most of my time working with teenagers
in a group home and at a Juvenile Detention Center as a counselor. Working with teenagers
gave me great joy, having had none of my own… I come from a large family of nine children
having six brothers and two sisters. I have always had a love for poetry. It has always been a
dream of mine to publish a book of my own poems. My first interest in poetry was when I was in
Sixth grade English class and we were studying Robert Frost. I have always had a passion for
poetry and believe it is a gift from God…It gives me great pleasure to share my poetry with
others. There's little else to say about me as my poetry reflects whom I am. My beliefs,
perspectives, trials and tribulations, hopes and despair, dreams of all my lives’ journeys…
Given with love I leave you now with a place Where Poets Dream!
