Taste the Wine - Vanessa Daou

Summer comes

Giving birth

A harvest grows

In restless earth

Autumn strips

Bares the trees

Merciless

It spills their bloody leaves

Taste the wine

Can you taste the wine?

Taste the wine

Can you taste the wine?

In winter’s deep

Dark repose

My sleep is long

Long and cold

Spring is brief

I leave behind

The bittersweetnesss

Of my grief

Taste the wine

Can you taste the wine?

Taste the wine

Can you taste the wine?

Taste the wine

Taste the wine

Taste the wine

Can you taste the wine?

I can hear

I can hear the song we’ve sung

I can taste

I can taste the wine on my tongue

Taste the wine

Can you taste the wine?

Taste the wine

Can you taste the wine?
