Wine
a chalice shared
friends and sweetness
Passover begins.
Wine
a soaked sponge
solitude and pungent
blood and pain.
Eternity touches earth
there is no smile
upon the sacrifice.
God sees red,
anger appeased in substitution.
Father sees son,
aching with every paindrop
knowing for some it will be not enough.
In the brash fairground playground
battleground of earth
there are fairer things
which are not as fair,
there are things more beautiful
which have not this beauty,
there are healing things
which cannot heal the soul.
Wine
a chalice shared
friends and sweetness
on a Sunday evening.
Wine
which for this instant
is not wine
but red with words
crimson promises.
Bread
which for this instant
is not bread
but holy white
a coverlet
upon an unmade bed.
In the dark of blood
there is Light.
In the remembrance of pain
there is solace
and this
wine offers the taste
of eternity.
