A Most Spectacular Feast!

 A Most Spectacular Feast!

We have been invited to a most spectacular feast!
Wine tasting with a special quest.
Angels feed our lips with fruit,
picked from the very tree of the Divine.
Some fruit is sweet and fragrant.
Some tastes bizarre and bitter.
And while we feast with pleasure or complaint,
we hear a voice that whispers in our ears:
"Eat! This fruit is good for you."
The cups get filled with wine
that has the color of our own pure blood.
Before our eyes,
the Earth is moving like a dancer,
graciously performing in this spectacle of Life.
We watch amazed as if we are dreaming.
The show is exquisite!
So wake up all you pretty people,
for it's not a dream we're dreaming.
Raise your brim-filled cups and make a toast.
Drink up!
Taste every scarlet drop
that kisses your beloved tongue,
and feel it travel through your body.
Get drunk with life,
and make it be a feast to remember.
For it is a well kept secret,
the moment when you'll hear
a thousand clocks announcing midnight.
And just as Cinderella,
your Soul will turn into a flying seagull.
And with Her snow-white wings,
She'll lift you gently,
and take you home forever.
