Grape Vine

Sun flower follows the sun If there is no sun Sunflower is done But sunflower is beloved by sun Vine of grape needs sun to But sun rarely gets through And shade of grape stops the view To sun grape is like practitioner of voodoo It challenges the very sun And sun always wins when day is done For grape vine there is no place to run And mild fire and the vine is gone But grape can grow from just one pod To plants sun is what to us is God But grape vine can defy God It can replenish itself from just one living rod Nonetheless vulnerable grape is Fire can burn it with its flaming kiss Man can cut it preventing it to enjoy its bliss But in spirit indestructible grape vine is Some men are like this Grape vine Their spiritual strength seems divine There are men who like poison ivy with devil align But others are like grape they are strong defiant but benign And in procession of mind we are all indestructible Like a proud aurochs unshakable and ideal We will all one day stand before master of light purple But in spirit some of us will not be dead at our own burial
