This is simply you, Michael. You want the wine, but to have that, you need the vine, you must have both or you have nothing. Very simple summery of one person needing another. Together they are (mostly) perfect. Divided, what is the point? You truly are a poet at heart, my dear friend. Love you loads. xxx Sandy

    Hey...-smile-
    perfect is hard to recreate...believe me.

    how are you...? Ian...?
    I heard about the test results...
    you know I've been thinking...we all have to transitions from this life to the real world. when...is not ours. Does prayer work to save this life...yes....but only for a time.

    do you think Jacob prayed to God for the life of his son Joseph....when his brothers lied and deceived for jealous love. I know he did in mournful separation. but as we find there was reason. I dont know the why for ah the way things happen...but I trust He does. I sure hope you're okay Sandy...
    this life is but many memories in the next. love you Michael

    We are doing okay, Michael, I've just been to the hospital again with Ian. I told him he should move in permanently, he laughed. It's going to be a long process from the looks of it, but just so long as he is with us for a while longer, we are not complaining. Thank you, you are so sweet, asking. I doubt I'll ever get to meet you in this life, but I'm going to make a date to catch up with you when we meet up top! (I'm hoping I'll be accepted, of course. :) Always love you, my dear friend, you have a special corner in my heart. xxx Sandy.

Have you won, poem of the month? If so, congratulations, and if it is still being judged... good luck and you should win with this one. I did enjoy the wine to grapevine line. Thank you for sharing.

WOW!! Congratulations on being nominated for poem of the month - that is quite an accomplishment for the spiritual genre. I thought this wonderful and very uplifting as I tend to see my personal connection with God as a branch on His wonderful vine of life, love, and joy. Nicely done and I thank you very much for sharing it.

Great writing, but I've come to expect nothing less. I see that you are a Son's of Anarchy fan. My wife and I are bikers and were heart broke when they took it off the air. Two Broke Girls is still on, but Son's of Anarchy is gone. Go figure.

In vino veritas, Michael, which translated to English from the Latin means, In wine there is truth.
We are all as uniquely and individually made as is the intricate structure of a single snowflake. We are all different, in other words, with different experiences, likes and dislikes, and opinions.
Some like red wine, others enjoy white.
But aren't those differences what makes living life so wonderfully interesting?

Well done, Michael.

Hi reconciled,

If I am correct, this is a tribute to wine int he guise of a lover or perhaps it is vice versa? Either way, this is rich in imagery and I wish you all the best in the contest! R

I can easily see what this poem was chosen to be an entry for the poem of the month contest. The flow and the descriptions are well done.
