The Empty Glass is Overflowing

In constant process

Of being poured out

And then again renewed

A circulation of rhythm

Always connected 

To a source that doesn't end


Never in danger

of lack in anything

No hollowed vacancy from

Any drought


Even while it is ever leaning

Continuously spilling all within

Just as soon as it is emptied

It is full yet again


The empty glass is overflowing

Refreshing everything in its path

And while it is yet

Ever still pouring

None have seen the bottom

Of the empty glass


When asked by those

Void to understand;

"How is it that you can

Pour so freely

All the contents you possess?

And not know our emptiness?'


The glass responds

"Well, its easy,

When I pour

I make more

Room to be filled up yet again,"


Perplexed the skeptics

Could not see

How this would work for them

And as if hearing 

The unasked question

The glass said, 

"No, it won't be the same

Not for you.


"Your containers, have been filled

Far too long.

The contents, they have staled

You held so tight

To what you had

It rusted out & failed

To give refreshment to anyone.

Yes, sadly even you


Because, anything you're given

Then hold back

Can never again

Be renewed."
