~ Drink To Me ~
{of oneness}
Drink to me, for I have discovered
I am small, but so much a lover
Of humanity's consummately aging wine
That sweet elixir that thrills the tongue
Heightening the awareness of being alive
Till age does snow white the hairs upon my head
I am of the wine's divine plan for victory
I am alive, so drink to me...
Stolen into this paradise, I am entranced
Blissfully accepting of its joy and pain
I have unclasped its jeweled enchantment
So drink to me, for soon this chance will end
I am oh so small, but with my spirit enhanced
I find a noiseless fear with which to dance
And trembling in this soft and chilly chest
In a wakeful swoon, I am happily un-perplexed...
So drink to me, oh happy reader
For I have seen
That you, are a part of me
And we two,
A part
Of all things,
That have ever,
Lived...
Tony Taylor

We get so caught up in things that we, humans, forget that we are tiny, tiny , tiny to the great universe. But tiny as we are we are big enough to recognise the wonderful in our world. And poetry is a part of all that is wonderful. Our lifetimes are the longest span we will ever actually know and yet it is over all to soon. Life is short, our hearts full. I will raise my glass 🥂 x

Greg
Thanx G!!....it is appreciated!!......T
Wow Tony, what a wonderful write. For it lifts the soul to read such words. Ageing like a fine wine, awakening to the joy of realising your significance and the empowerment of all being one wonderful stream of energy, coexisting through time and space. How small we are yet as one we become something spectacular. For me this reads as if you are drunk and high on humanity. That the “come drink to me” is you offering others to share in this awakening, this oneness. The wine is the spirit, the soul and we are all that. This is a clever write my friend and so very beautiful in its affection towards the true spirit of humanity and it’s potential. I love how this reads as you keep saying come drink to me. It is like you are passing the love on. Sharing the empowerment through this very offering. May peace continue to be with you Tony, all good things
Your friend
