Personally, I like new wine...:) and not being facetious either....

So true, so true what you so eloquently say here...
Perspective is nine tenths of the battle...

Thank you for creating this and sharing.
Take care & be safe

Excellent presentation!

Surprised it took until here to see the heart, being the romantic you are....

That little heart is fantastic in the clouds. It shows us that God is alive and well and is watching over His children. The picture of the area under the clouds has much to make us thankful too. Being aware of our surroundings and being thankful is what it's all about. Great job! V.A.

Simply Believe-- Myself I would like to think I bath in new wine mostly every day, however I have those days when I was not perfectly good, actually was not good at all. I've seen too much garbage over the years of my work. and beleive me I know I could not live like that. Makes me appreciate the beauty that is here ten fold. great write and great imagery, ron

I definitely bathe in new wine...! Hi, IS--That is a very cool heart-shape in the clouds! I like the approach here of seeing [beautiful things...or those distained] and embracing all the goodness. A lovely insightful write filled with your unique eye for beauty.

Sincerely,
Lark

Oh my gosh, Yor are right. There is a heart in the sky, that is so different. I believe you were the one with a photo of a heart in the sky? U r a very good photographer! Back to the poem, I really liked your words. The last lines were my most favorite though. great job! =)

I think I do both. Pain and hope for something better. This has a some resemblance to your last poem I just reviewed, although with a different approach. I really liked the last stanza here. Strong. Cool picture too.

Hi Jewell

Another awesome poem and funny you saw the heart in the clouds, one of my poems I posted awhile back I wrote looking out the window at the puffy white clouds. My Guardian Angel It was as if I could just see the angels playing in the bisg soft-looking white clouds.

I always enjoy your poems so much and you have a way of putting a poem together that makes it even more delightful.

Have a tremendously blessed day,
Carolyn

Wow - another amazing piece from you. I love the simplicity of the language, the lines of free verse.

Do you dine
On sour grapes
Or do you bathe
In new wine?

How perfect is that! Choices. We make them every day - or if we don't, we fall into that sour grape pattern which breeds bitterness that sets in solidly and is hard to break out of.

Very well written, a pleasure, my friend.

The last line is really great. Your usual fine work. Some day I hope you really delve into a meaty topic and go on for twenty stanzas. You could do it. Thanks so much for the posting. It's always fun to read you. Best. Ray.
