Upon the gift

of nectar’d wine

I held tight to the glass

 

I sipped and savored slowly;

I knew it wouldn’t last

 

Now there is but one taste left

to sweeten this amen

And at the dawn of midnight

my glass will fill again

Now there is but one taste left
to sweeten this amen
And at the dawn of midnight
my glass will fill again

A wonderful drinking poem that celebrates the spiritual.

Beginnings and endings... true spirituality, if you ask me... Thank you, Pryde!

[Gleb Zavlanov]

Short, sweet and simple, majestically encapsulating the passing of the year. Great job!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Gleb!

Very apt metaphor for the passing of a year and the coming of a new one. May you be blessed in all the days to come. Well penned Rita.

I like the drink you are serving! Well fine Rita.
It is true about having a full glass. Shall we raise the gift to waiting lips...
Shall we savor the subtleties. Shall we experience the complexities and layers. Shall we wet dry bones with the prosperity at our fingertips.

I love the thought!
Great poem.

[Rita L. Sev]

We shall... before the bottle is empty. :) Thank you, David.
