 Chardonnay Tears Drop by shimmering drop, tears accrue within jeweled chalice; trapped by golden pain. Oh, let thy torrent fall; ebb and flow of soul from depths of divine despair, though fall in vain. Droplets originate within this heart, dwell to age ... ferment as fine wine; yet seem to empower promise as dewy grapes clustered on the vine. Forlorn hope fills sparkling goblets, near overflow; glistened drops shall pour a toast to thee, to vanquished paradise... e're this vessel is shattered, to hold no more. ~Cathy Bollhoefer~ copyright Jan2005 |

Hi Cathy!
Congratulations!!! :dance: I loved this piece. :lovie: In my mind I saw the "Lady Of The Lake", in distant Avalon. Holding the Holy Chalice and weeping for a long ago past that was simple and pure. The words flowed easily with a wonderful rhythm and wistfuly portrayed the hope of a glistening future. Maybe even a blessing for mankind? I thoughly enjoyed all of your word choices. I could just see the effervescent tears, filling the chalice. Made it sound as if the tears were as sparkling as champagne. :lovie: This was a real treat to the eyes of my imagination, as well as a treat to read aloud. :sings: Love ya's, Chris :wizard: ······· ·······"...Morgan le Fay was not married, but put to school in a nunnery, where she became a great mistress of magic."

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
