The open gate
Seems to say, "This way!"
But the only thing it will ever be able to do
Is close.
The bottle of wine
Is inviting and bright
But the only thing it can ever become
Is empty.
The day arrives
With heart and mind of light,
But it can only ever end
In darkness.
Come to the gate.
Bring some wine.
Then turn away
And say goodbye.
The bottle of wine
ReplyDeleteIs inviting and bright

Is empty.
