wine day

today we are the wine that we drink
we are the songs that we sing
and the dreams that we dream;
today we come out from within.

let us share ourselves this moment
with friends, let us live the present;
let the memories drop to the bottom
let peace reign as they settle

let ourselves be the inspiration
that we usually seek from others
let all the flavors come out
from this simple bottles

the road paved with gravel
I feel, and the sweetness of cherries
atop of a tree in the garden of Eden
mixing with the wildness of berries

let us have the courage
to say good bye in the harbor
to those who decide to be sailors
and wish them good winds

let us have the heart to welcome
back those who decided to stay
home without armor
and work with a shovel

let us share ourselves
but refrain from imposing our ways
with newcomers from countries afar
where the making of wine was unknown

at the end of the party
let us be free to choose our path
and stick to the track
towards where good grapes can be grown.
