Sunday, when we were together,
The energy of our connections
Bubbled like champagne.
But Monday we looked at the bottle,
Read the label and wondered:
Is this stuff good for us?
We re-corked the bottle - to save the
Effervescence - but it didn’t work.
By Tuesday, the fizz was gone.
I started to empty the bottle
Into the sink, but the scent of wine
Made me pause, inhale again.
Curious, I poured the flat champagne
Into a glass – sipped - and tasted
A firm, nutty wine - like friendship.
Will we ever have the faith
To drink our wine unlabeled
And let the spirits nourish us?
