The Vessel and The Brew

A vessel
It is too short
too tall
too round
too thin
fragile
strong
filled with a bubbling brew

a bubbling brew of
intellect
stupidity
wisdom
knowledge
creativity
naive
emotions

The vessel's true substance is the brew
Yet, it's structure is harshly judged
and measured in no time

The brew can be judged too
But, it needs to be tasted
Savored over the life of the vessel
in order to be truly understood

The vessel will age
weaken
crack
deteriorate

But, the bubbling brew
ferments
will fizzle
concentrate
into a brew
The Brew of life

The vessel will
under the pressure of time
disintegrate
a become no more

But the brew
will pour back into the earth
and become a part of
all things

Forever
