Enough
Just enough of you
Just enough of me
Just enough for all to see
I am whole
And so to let me be
Cups of love
Spoons of care
The average
Just above
Perfectly measured for the recipe that is you
For the recipe that is me
Perfectly measured for all to see
I am whole
And so to let me be
The besotting grape juice
Gives a bitter taste to the untrained palate
The complex, intense tang
Unfathomable
The trained palate fathoms
I am whole
And so they let me be
The sommelier will tell you
How deeply the roots have dug
How sharply the rays have pierced
These an effect on the fruit has forced
The sommelier will tell you
The French oak barrel adds a hint of dark chocolate
A touch of roasted coffee
And the exoticness of savoury spices
Each process
Each ingredient
Nothing in excess
Nothing in restraint
I may not be wine
But I am just as fine
I am whole
Wholeheartedly
I am just enough
Train your palate and you will see
Just let me be
