Flavors swirling, catching, changing
Experiences developing, immutable yet ranging
Dry eyes, full of scorn
Tears drip, newly borne
Bittersweet is the wine of life
poured carelessly, barely tasted
lovingly bottled, preserved, and rife
Enjoyed, hated, protected, wasted
Decanter open, smells unleashed
proudly displayed, ashamedly fleeced
bad vintage, bad year, faultless, fear
tended, cared, loved so near.
