Toast

I raise a glass to you
Of sweetest wine
Your soul encircles me
Our arms entwined
Just for a moment feel
A spark divine

You raise your glass to me
But bow your head
And tears may summon up
What you’ve not said
This but your eulogy
Song for the dead

In turn we touch the glass
To you, to me
And know though this is sweet
We must be free
A toast then to this dream
Which could not be.
