Subject:      SUB: The Chalice

Something I've been tinkering with (although I have this vague
impression I've seen it before)

The chalice,
Filled to the brim and over,
Too soon tossed off.
Then into waiting darkness,
We pray goodbye,
With stumbling step or hearty stride.
Friends, drink deep,
Tis life.
