We drink our glasses of white wine as the suns rays fade
think of the years events
of things we left behind for better or worse
items we needed to forget, to get on with life
sentimental things like friendships and lovers
or the tender things like how a warm hand feels on your shoulder giving you strength
as subtle as the white wine we now imbibe
we move on to sparkling wine
beginning to talk we toast to the sweeter things in life
of how a child's smile can make your day turn out just right
talking about how things will be from now on
how things will change
the way life rolls on to greener pastures and bears more fruit
laughing and talking ensues as the light fades, we sit nursing our drinks
never alone anymore my companion in musing mutters
my companion feels at peace, at home forever
people need to change
and I know we have both changed for the best
I feel calm as we sit next to each other
finishing our last drops of wine we look to the future
to the open skies as the sun slowly sets on the horizon
we continue talking till we can no longer see each other
even though my vision is gone I feel safe
a warm aura surrounds my body as my companions head gently rests on my shoulder
to fall asleep
to dream dreams
I know my constant companion will never leave
in that I can trust and live on
