Listen to poem:
Shared Goblet - Hollow Vintage
The brass remembered every lifted hand. Each touch left another smear of
mistrust. The wine glinted with dark, borrowed reflections. Something
else lay inside the goblet. Each shared sip drew another soul nearby.
Trust arrived before lips touched the cold brass. The goblet asked only
for willing hearts. The wine honoured promises no tongue had spoken.
Brass outlived kingdoms and countless generations. Its clang
lingered after memory surrendered. Sharing the cup carried
unseen vows within. Well beyond the cheers of
celebration. The goblet stayed hollow, yet filled
lives. Its emptiness welcomed still more
faithful hands. The finest vintage
ripened into commitment. The
toast outlived thirst,
becoming enduring
fellowship. The
last drop
disappeared
without
regret.
The
covenant
quietly
stayed among
them. The
brass goblet
gave one final clang!
The wine rang true within opened hearts.
