Drinking Wine from the Sky

Jul 10, 2023

One asked the Sage -


You seem to live so close to God. How do you know God so well?
I don't.


But it seems you do.
I didn't say I didn't.


I just wanted to know how you know God so well.
I drink Wine that falls out of the Sky.


*Brian K. Wilcox. "Meetings with an Anonymous Sage."

What? You don't drink wine? Infidel, begone!
Don't think it's made of those grapes from some farm.
My love is the wine, my heart is its cup.
The wine-boy is Creator of the Dawn.


*Rumi. "You don't drink wine?" Trans. Nesreen Akhtarkhavari, Anthony Lee. Plumepoetry.com .

* * *


Do not get intoxicated with wine, ...
Instead, be filled with spirit, ...


*Ephesians 5.18
