In the stillness of the glass, I find
A moment’s peace, a fleeting kind
The liquid gold, it swirls and gleams
Reflecting all my distant dreams
With every sip, the world fades slow
The burdens lift, the worries go
In amber depths, I lose my way
To places where I wish to stay
The warmth it brings, a gentle touch
An old friend’s hug, a lover’s clutch
Yet in its grasp, a hidden snare
A whispered promise, a silent dare
For though it soothes, it also binds
A double edge, it robs, it blinds
So drink with care, and heed this call
For in the glass, both rise and fall
