How's the Wine
you planted the seeds
ensured their soil...fertile
richly mixed within–
the best nutrients
–you watched day and night
plucked every weed
–babied every seed
your fields were blessed
for you cared for their crest–
sun came when needed
rain came when needed
all your vines began to grow
healthy, vibrant
–'til the grapes began to show
you marveled at their birth
giving thanks and praise
but you missed...a thing or two:
your eyes started to go blind
you started dreaming prosperity
–as more grapes appeared
your eyes grew big:
you can buy more land
you can build a bigger house
–money spent...not yet earned
not yet understanding–
the return
you became so careless
you didn't even see–
as your presses grew
as your cellars filled
as your variety increased
–you forgot about the nutrients
you forgot what was needed
–what each vine required
–you even forgot
about the weeds
–how they root and feed
you forgot to tend‒
below the surface
–all you saw...shiny vines
but in the dark‒
weeds and pest
began to ingest
a slow building nest
–leaving you to guess
but you didn't
–did you?
years have passed‒
since that first glass
you've grown‒
‒so many things
you own
you don't even access–
what's 'a mess
you just keep moving‒
never wondering–
what's next
never even asking–
how many vines...lost
to the infest
you just keep spending
you just keep enjoying
–drinking....
your well-brewed wine
–making....
a simple toast to your lost
and to you–
nothing else adds to the cost
you've become the boss
whatever...you have rights
to toss!
so, my friend....
how's the wine?
Note: The photo that accompanies this work was taken November 11, 2019 when God sent the message of the Avenging Angel. He went beyond what He has been doing up until this date. He not only used the green orb to point out what He wanted us to see, He also put an arrow in the sky that day to ensure we got the message. Not many paid attention. This will come at a price.
(January 15, 2020)―I have been writing and not completing. I have quite a few pieces to work on. But there’s a few things God is wanting of me. Being number 1 since I began meditation back in July: Stop smoking. I’m on day 5. So it’s been interesting, but I’m about to move to the next part of my journey, so zero nicotine is part of that. I always knew this. Back in 2016, I was told this as well. So, wherever I’m going, I’m willing!
