I tore the walls down from my eyes.
Everything is clearer now.
Each word I hear is sweet surprise--
each beat of heart--a sacred vow.

The day you left was death of me.
I did not know you set me free.
Like rain that pours in sheets that blind--
your absence was as soured wine...
too many years upon the shelf--
I wanted you just for myself.

A wine so fine should be enjoyed.
No keep of cork should block the pour,
No more cellars I employ--
I'll drink the wine as my soul soars.

So brush you off the dust of rage,
for on this day? We've come of age.

for all things there is a time...


A wine so fine should be enjoyed.
No keep of cork should block the pour,
No more cellars I employ--
I'll drink the wine as my soul soars

drinking from life cup can at times taste like vinegar..and other the vintage is sweet indeed...

Like this... and as usual enjoyed it a great deal.

Darn my eloquence escapes me on this one and I wanted to be so darn profound too, but all I can think of is - yeah, brush the dust off, and go for it!  What an awesome poem but then you know I love them all right?

sometimes all I can do is smile and shake my head when I read your work....
and of course...polish the mirror...
