Toasting Our Love

Toasting Our Love

There is a light breeze as the sun looks on

Sitting low on the horizon day almost gone

Clouds parade by like floats on Christmas Day

Front row seats to this dramatic life play

I swirl the wine, red sparkles in the glass

Swishing a bit and then swallowing alas

Tension diffuses as wine takes slow affect

Dusk speaks like an old friend motives unchecked

The song of cicadas echo in refrain

Glass raised and I slowly sip again

Bravo, I cheer at the end of this tale told

I’ll cherish these moments and the memories they hold

Sitting on this porch with you by my side

Warmed by the fire your friendship provides

Soaking in the last rays from up above

Tinging our glasses and toasting our love

    A lovely poem of companionship and its comfort. Although could be literal I take metaphor from this with evening being the end of life. Peaceful, calming and satisfying.

    As with having the companionship of a loved one the evening is also satisfying and calming, very enjoyable read
