My Wine Today I sip my wine of cast From sweet and sour of my past Grown of the earth and sun above To taste the spirit of my love The essence of epitome Fermented by its alchemy. A cup that’s filled with full of now Poured and brood of pasts endow. The taste is full upon my lips This essence that my lips so sips And I am close to ecstasy This very simple chemistry A pinch of this, a trace of that A little loving and a pat The silence and the touch of hand Body’s language and understand. By fusing the dichotomy We overcome anatomy And bridge the bridge where ever lies Within the bend of human ties Put your past in its proper place And you will feel eternal grace. |

Now that Sir was filled with one big jug of wisdom! To hang onto anything that makes one feel badly is futile. Once "it" is gone, like your fine wine, it's gone, and time to head to the future! These two lines are probably the greatest and wisest lines I have read in a long time.... "Put your past in its proper place And you will feel eternal grace." Try giving your smile to someone who does not have one, and I bet you'll find another ~*~ Mysteria ~*~ |
