Salute!

“You needn’t be crazy to be my friend, I can train you.”
— Robin Williams

 

Raise the carafe with care
pour forth freely
to drink deeply
this wine of friendship
ripened well with time
aged to a vintage true
the seasons have been kind
to this nectar rare

let its heady fragrance
and its bright taste
linger long and lush
lighten your burden
warm your heart
sweeten your dreams
and lift your spirit
to a place of peace and beauty

…may serenity be always yours…
salut!

N.B. The “wine of friendship” herein is meant only to be friendship, wine is a metaphor.
