Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Sing Electric Wine

Phantoms 
              pass us by 
  as we sip electric wine
Clown - like faces 
    stand out in the darkness
Eyes turn inward to see
    the joyful lava 
  from which we were made
Don't worry at all 
    The stream of life is 
still rolling along 
The best we can do is 
   to go with the flow 
  and realize that our 
hearts will beat in time 
 to the rythms generated 
by the cosmic clock 
   Let joy wash over us
      Sing electric wine 
A sip wll do you good 
    Brillant intoxication 
becomes the order of the day

Elizabeth Wesley July 10, 2012 at 2:42 PM A sip of cool wine just might do the trick on this hot day and the charge I get must mean it is electric! This has a lovely "other world" tone to it which takes me places I'd love to go. Never heard of Heinrich Heine, will try to find but I take that as a compliment and thank you! Luv, Lizzie
