DRINK

Bring in the wine
Green shoots on broken trees
A whispering breeze of past glories
On this river sublime.
Sing in the dusk
That brought us together
 
A table of friends
A shaky hand clasping yours.
Tremble words, lengthen minutes.
A wine of water born
A cask in shadows
Divining these stumbling prayers.
 
Oh bring the wine
Unravel trammelled rails
A constellation drawn on stars
A verse held in rhyme
When the sea
Beckons a wind in our sails
