I had to drink
To know the taste
The wine of truth
The wine of healing
In vino veritas
Learning by embracing
The brokenness of our being
Love taught me hope
The deepest love meant
Knowing that we are the fallen
Broken in spirit and frail in body
We need compassion
For while we have passion
For our self indulgent acts
They lead us to despair
Where there is emptiness
That had accompanied our fall
We need to hear the calling
Of our gifts and truest nature
Love is that calling deep
And deep calls to deep
Abyssus abyssum invocat
The chains of my despair
Cannot hold me if you're near
I long to know you
To hold you tight
Because I've tasted
Of the wine
