Night's Thoughts

Wine (take it literally or symbolically)

Tastes like forgiveness

deep, deep and as red as can be.

Night comes, and I drink deeply

washing away the bitterness and hot dust of the day.

I taste forgiveness washing over my tongue, filling my mouth,

I swallow, and let go.

And other times I sip

Not ready to give it all up at once

but slowly letting the crescendo build.

Crescendo of forgiveness, silent night

Sweet, sweet wine.
