—Mulled Wine—
In the frozen darkness of the mirror maze
Was a search for many years in vain
Following clues that led to strange, strange places
Through intrigues and deep pain
But reality was growing softer now
And the fabric seemed to be wearing thin
All the pathways forked through the parallels
To a velvet chamber deep within
A heavy curtain lifted back that night
To familiar eyes from a thousand dreams
The mirror image of divisions made
Outside of time under bright moonbeams
In a wave that felt like Christmas Eve
They filled the cup with mulled wine
With cinnamon and honey—beaming forth so sunny
In a vortex of sparkle and shine
For the briefest of moments nothing is missing
When they fill the cup with mulled wine
Against a wall of roses—the awe that it exposes
And the glow will always be divine of mulled wine
Like fantastic players in a storybook
They shared a dance, and perfect prose
Bright white heat melted many layers of ice away
Revealing the soft song of the rose
With a key to the lock of a long dead fire
Held captive to destroyers of mankind
The forest deer ran into the cold, dark wood
And met the song within his mind
All illusions were shattered as his pain was felt
The snowflake spelled eternity
Our Father allowed this story to occur
And what is left, well, we’ll just have to see
In a wave that felt like Christmas Eve
They filled the cup with mulled wine
With cinnamon and honey—beaming forth so sunny
In a vortex of sparkle and shine
For the briefest of moments nothing is missing
When they fill the cup with mulled wine
Against a wall of roses—the awe that it exposes
And the glow will always be divine of mulled wine
