A sunrise smiles on one eye
A second sight joins the first
A human selects a destination from the recharging station before relocating

Their handles wipe the limescale from their lids
They release a whistle of fatigue from their spout
The steam dream highlights the three beams that make the unseen gleam

Greeted by a touch as warm as my element is to be
Container-on-container contact as my capacity is overseen
Lifted, I fly betwixt islands, my lid is opened and I lean
Purging myself of yesterday so for today my filter is clean

I traverse culinary terrain as I return from a place so great
Pilgrimage fresh as my human connects my base to plate
Over, I almost runneth, me, the holiest of ten grails,
I am aroused and left to bubble, free to glow with fomented zeal

At last, I again know heat and I kneel by ceramic pew
I realign as I finish prayer and give thanks as I settle
They say roses are red but my LEDs are blue
Does your case simmer for me as mine effervesces for you?
