At One Time

You offer from
A chalice of mystery
Alluring aroma
Shields intent 
From my soul
At one time
The fiery ego of youth
Would sip
Not now
For time has mellowed
Muting my thirst

    I LOVE "for time has mellowed, muting my thirst." Mine, too.

    You've captured a lot of nuances and layers in so few lines. I like how this could be simply about a strong cup of coffee or a metaphor for adventures that arise in life. Well done and viva la!

    Yes time does indeed mute our thirst for some things....but maybe not for all!

    This is a brilliant little piece. The thirst for a sip from the chalice of mystery does, indeed, abate with time. Love where you went with this.

    There seems a peacefulness in these effects of time.

    I find a lot of people saying what I was thinking too. Time muting the need for mystery and its attendant perils.

    Yes, time can chase us from the tea we once craved.
