A Cup Of Tea

A day a visitor
Stood at my door
My greetings were sweeter
But he asked for more
Besat near the flower vase
I went to get some tea
I took a costly and a cheap cup
To really see
He started to gaze
In different ways
As I brought them out
He chose the costly one
I quietly sat beside him
Having tea in the cup that is cheap
Where from and what to start
I have to use an idea that is deep
You chose the costly cup, I can see
But the purpose you took the cup
Was to have the tea
And nothing else
Similar is our life
The cups were the options
Tea was the life
Cups enacted as disruptions
You chose the best
Choice for yourself
But that is not the life
It enacts similar to a knife
Life is to make
All your the best
For the sake
To know your life's quest

I like this poem. We judge too much by appearance when we should be looking at intention. By the way I would have chose the lesser cup.
