Indeed it does. And offers hope to me, in a rather profound way. So thank you :)

So Fine on the Vine

Silvering of years leave vines
gnarled and hues
roughened to worn black
as sweet dreams became
silvered with age
knotty deep and unforgiving
of bending round objects
laid on the young vine
cat walks for the young?

Was the saturation, too much,
or the dreams
beyond achievement
unrealistic on the canvas
ruining brushes future use
as the twig is bent so grows
the vine so fine
etched in the face of life
highways and byways
roads maps to
an irrational exuberance
and unrestrained, bursting
to be forever young
with the fury of a wild horse
jumping the young vines

I shall be forever young...
the vine is so fine
with new life
loving that consumes all
causing things to crash
at midnight the mind
whirls in excitement
the colors flash
and deepen in hue

So Fine on the Vine
