The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Draw the Line

draw the line, make it deep
separate the fiction from the facts
divide the longing and the yearning
from your heart's desire

draw the line, make it clearer
let the sun dissipate the fog
watch the shroud fall to your feet
or forever hide in shadow

as love passes you by

Sometimes it is hard to "separate the fiction from the facts," JB. Wish I knew how to draw that line more clearly as it seems love is always passing by. If you know how to tell the truth from the lies, please share your secret. Best wishes, Carolyn
