The glass
The glass . . . half empty
is filled with entitlement
The glass . . . half full
is filled with gratitude
The glass half empty
has the grip
of expectation upon it
The glass half full
is lifted
with reflection in mind
The glass half empty
is a toast
to eventual disappointment
The glass half full
is a toast
to promise towards fulfillment
The glass half . . .
is life ongoing as paradox
The glass . . .
we are all that one glass
great. love this one. glad i started today to view it.
ReplyDeleteThe distinctions between the mind of the optimist and that of the pessimist are expressed so beautifully here. The empty half of the glass overflows its undeserved expectations and unresolved desires onto the hand holding it. I'm glad I discovered this poem today :)
