At Collision

A poem by our winemaker, Peter Kimball

Vines tell stories 

Of heaven meeting earth

Light and water descend 

To dirt, carrying its cycles of life and death

Old and new

 

Growth in the middle


Young light stored in fruits and roots

Ancient water returned on high.

Our sky purified

soil replenished

people fed 


A colossal, life-making collision
 

New grafts on an old trunk

Pruned for goodness and growth

Branches stretched out 

in the in-between


A gift of fruit 

to be crushed

Soil and sky, together

 

And in the crimson aftermath, 

The collision echos 

Abundant life takes hold, again

Sweet water

Transformed 

Into storytelling wine

 

We taste and remember 

We, of soil and sky

Springtime in the vineyard, rolling hills, sunset underneath heavy clouds.
