Green Tea Leaves

green tea leaves
dried, ready for use,
sit there like Buddha
contemplating
whatever Buddha contemplated

sit there
not knowing their fate
is to be rehydrated
in not-quite boiling water
releasing their scent
like a gift
to the drinker

and up to that point
of leaves meeting water
they are dessicated potential
the not-yet given delight
