the sun is setting
gives the people on the sidewalk
an ethereal glow
the well-formed hand
of a cloud
splits away from the rest
points toward
the sinking sun
and toward its own moldering
‘twill readily soon be gone
as the sunlight vibrates energy
across the roof of The Hovel
inch by inch it gives up the last
light of the day
showing us all we need to know
I offer the glass of wine
I’m holding
to you
for inside the glass
is power enough
to give
credence to the sinking sun

The power of the sun to ripen the grapes to make the wine! You put that image in the bottle and slapped a label on it! Good write! Good morning my friend.

Such a precious moment you lived and shared with us with this verse that demands to be read more than once for its stainless beauty!

I like the poem you spun from the grape and the sun. Drink up, Drink up, let life fill your cup !

Oh most definitively do I agree with your assessment of wine and truth, Bruce. Thank you.
