A few weeks ago I asked my very good friend Cindy what she would like for her birthday. She rendered me speechless when she requested that I write her a poem. I can't tell you what that meant to me. I could have written about how inspirational she is, how beautiful she is (both inside and out), how funny and smart she is, how she is so many things to so many people. But I think of her and I think of wine. We both love to indulge and both have the same belief that life is meant to be lived. That means we drink even if we have to workout the next day!!! Maybe our running group should be named "Cab on the Run" or something like that. And so I came up with this "Ode to Wine".
An Ode to Red Wine
Inky, red passion swirls before her eyes
Her complex companion numbs her from background laughter
In this world there are no lies
She is heady as the chocolate, leather notes linger in her nose
Her eyes droop as the silky liquid passes over her lips
Spicy edge lingers long on her tongue
It's a complete, less manipulated courtship
Not changed into something it was not meant to be
Flirting with perfection imparts a groan from her throat
Happy 40th, Cindy.
