Ambrosia Poem by Fauxcroft Wade

Oh, to experience Ambrosia,

The food of the Gods

That brings forth life immortal,

Often depicted as a nymph

Who was turned into a grapevine,

By Lycurgus of Thrace

Who was in conflict with Dionysus,

Not surprising then how sweet tastes the wine

From which the grape came,

Fermented from a nymph

I savour every little taste of it,

Longing to drink her in

And share in immortality with her

Coursing through my veins,

To meet the Greek Gods of ancient myth

Nothing could ever compare to this,

Except to drown in the essence of the nymph

Who tastes of the Ambrosian wine of these Gods,

Who I ask could resist this wondrous thing,

Oh, Ambrosian dream, how you forever taunt me.
