Life is half empty
Half way there
Half left to dreams unfulfilled
Half too scared to dream
Life is half empty
Hopes trading places
With fears shuffling
for space in ever narrowing minds
Life is half empty
Waiting in vain for secure
Bank statements tallying up
Positive integers for a change
But then one day there is laughter
Sloshing around in my half emptiness
The smiles of friends
And warm hugs encircling body fat
Sagging bodies chasing bouncing kids
There is space in my half emptiness
For love and healing hurt and the
Brightness of young eyes all around
I am glad of my half emptiness
This space to fill with
All of you I hold dear
On this day
mundane as any other
Made special by these generous
Generic humans
Filling my half empty life
