palm wine

On the palm of a tree
the matter of the heart is treated
from the branch of a vine
comes the one that gives the heart merry
same is refined barley
the disguised mocker of man


EMPTINESS!!!
Cries the heart
Even the best of wine
in it's very best mind numbing
can still this deep search of man
A search for more
Who,what can fill
the deep soul of man
in the heart of his spirit?


Groping in the dark
ignorance casting shadows
the knowledge needed
seeming so far
yet what man seek
at the edge of the port
resides in his pocket
