Moonshine

Want a little free moonshine? There is some waiting for you just over there. He was very familiar. I couldn't place him though, I was not falling for the chasing the moonshine gag. I knew that I would run over there looking all around for Moonshine, just to find moonbeams, shining through the trees, lighting up the muddy path & making it look beautiful even though it is mud. A decided she would pursue the shine. I let her go & turned my attention to the Inkwell Rhythm Makers as they picked, plucked, & scratched through some sinner music meant to save the soul but with the unintended consequences of making you want to drink large quantities of Moonshine. Other Jug band players took the stage, I went to see how A was doing chasing after moonbeams. She was standing up against a small table. It looked like a magicians table full of tricks to astound & amaze you. There was a mason jar & 3 small glasses, each of a different make. A song about whiskey drifted over the mud trail from the jug band. The fella, looked up as he poured out a golden smooth liquid that I could taste as it fell from the mason to the used dirty cup. My mouth watered, he looked up & said these magic words & waved his hands over the magicians table, would you like some of my Moonshine? I didn't have to answer, the cup was raised to my hand. I thanked him, put the cup to my lips & slowly without stopping but without shooting the liquid gold, savored the whole glass. Smooth as the bottom of a worn out shoe, smooth as the back of a pretty girls knee, smooth as the edge of a murderers knife. This was the most delicious liquid that has ever draped itself across my tongue. This was a proud man, South Carolinian man, he was sharing his Moonshine with no other intended results but the satisfaction of seeing us enjoy his amazing liquid. He was not selling or marketing, he was not promoting anything else by providing free moonshine, you wouldn't dare do those sort of things with this, the liquor of the god's. This potion can only be shared with the true desire to spread happiness & this true gentleman & his beautiful girl were there to see that happiness imparted to several of us by passers as we walked in the mud and danced to the devil's music.
