Hidden Treasures

Tears & laughter

Sorrow & joy

Hope, pain

Dreams & disappointments

Poured into this poor vessel

Tamped down & set aside,

Forgotten,

left to gather dust

You came, saw the glint of hidden treasure

Brushed aside cobwebs,

blew away the dust

Examined the vintage

uncorked the bottle

Inhaled the heady fragrance

Savoured that first taste

Poured out ruby richness

Set free the genius of the vintner.

Drink deep He murmurs;

speak your wishes
It is my heart's desire to grant you more,
Oh, so much More.
