The Wine

20:47

Reminiscing the stars, with sailing ships they align
The city at night; fittingly busy, yet sluggish at sight
With bird's-eye view, the late and old airline
A journeyman, the celestial world's acolyte

The changing of seasons, a glimpse of jubilation
Bringing presents like winter, but only the snow
Withered lilies in the rain, painted in carnation
To the acoustic guitar, they dance the fandango

Yet he barges in with September
Spitting fuel to the newborn ember
And like the seasons, I fall
More than any regrets may appall

We'll be back, desperatly clinging on the ashes
Though now we know, even the stars will pass on
But as the story goes and the life flashes
It gets better as it gets older, says Bourgogne

a bottle full of wine, but empty with time,
Andri Kurniawan
