Vineyard's Lifecycle
We've grown from the same root
We stick together
like a grape bunch.
Until a final decision is made
Stay in our bunch and enjoy our company.
Grow older, you can become finer
A Chardonnay or Sauvignon?
A finer wine
Made from the roots you grew up in.
Combined through the years
with accomplishments and fermentations.
Grafted with different grapes,
Splitting the vine
Penetrating the other vine through the two diagonal cuts
The vintner assembles the vine
Bonding the two vines to produce something totally different.
So you will take another
As the two vines joined are maturing faster they will lose strength
So our lives embraced together will.
Now their days of bearing fruit are over,
The young branch must bear the weight of production.
So is this lifecycle.
