Look Twice

I watch you pour

Each cup with care

Time slows down here

In morning air

Your sleeve falls back

Green tea leaves steep

I hold my breath

As moments keep

Every motion tells me something new

Patient hands that always follow through

Like a dance we've seen before

But your hands, they know the way

The steam rises

Your eyes downcast

Each movement set

Like seasons past

The water flows

Just like your grace

I learn from you

In this small space

Every morning brings me something true

Gentle strength in everything you do

Like a song we've heard before

But your hands, they know the way

I could watch for hours as you make time stop

Finding peace in patterns others forgot

Solo - Japanese-inspired melody

The last cup poured

Your smile breaks through

I understand

By watching you

Every motion shows me something new

Quiet wisdom in the things you do

Like a path we've walked before

And your hands still know the way
