Honest As Wine

Dear sweet woman child
With vinegar in your veins and fire on your tongue
Wise soul of an elder
Gazing at the world through the eyes of the young

Sweet as rain
Falling on parched lips cracked and dry
Honest as wine
Intoxicating without saying why

Words flow easily
Carrying the power to crush an ego to dust
Forgive my cynical mind
I've seen naivete kill the just
