‘When is enough, Enough?’

When is enough, enough?

When do we say

          This…

                   And no more?

Almost a year ago now, I had a dream in which I was given the answer to this question. What difference did it make?

When is enough, enough?

Dancing, dervish style. In one hand, my left,

An empty bottle of wine.

In the other a beautifully crafted full bottle

Perhaps we should call it…

The ‘elixir of the gods’

Yet this would not do justice to that which I held in my right hand.

Dark green embossed label

Announcing the presence

Of One who takes many…

Every …

Form, that helps

Bring us to our senses.

Who am I?

I ask in another space,

“How do you know

My name?”

He answers me truthfully

          “Oh! Everybody knows Kareem… He drinks too much!

So much to say. So little time to say it.

Will you listen now?
