 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? 

(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!
