Affirmation of new friendship

How it glows like old wine

new on my palate

sweetly unexplored and untasted

not yet digested

just open this bottle is

breathing as we wait

knowing some taste will come

but even now the aroma

fills my senses with wonder

and tickles my imagination

for how it will be

to hold this full glass in contemplation

and grow familiar

with an old friend yet to come

knowing somehow it is destined to be
