steam from a cup of tea

The light is just right for me to see the steam coming off a fresh cup of tea that I've just made. I had the ceiling fan going to disperse the heat in the room, but I've turned it off because the steam was twirling away so fast, and now it isn't blowing away at an angle, but twisting straight up, as if it were a flame, but ethereal and misty white. I shouldn't be this captivated by it, but I am. I know it won't steam for too long. Right now it is too hot to drink, but soon the steam will cease because the tea will have cooled, and I'll be able to drink the tea and enjoy it, but the pleasure of watching the steam will be lost.
