April-June, 2015
I have lived so many lifetimes…
in this life… I’ve lived but once.
Seeking to fill my half-filled glass
with all my childish stunts.
Then, my glass was finally filled
up to the very top!
Then it started overflowing,
and never, never stopped.
Then, there came a shattering,
my overflowing was no more!
No glass to fill… with joy from life
as I had sipped… my fill… before.
And then one day, I chanced to laugh.
(I was grateful to my friend.)
And then another made me laugh,
oh, and what a joy to laugh again!
Oh, what a miracle — to laugh!
And I laughed for quite a while.
Oh how my soul did dance a jig,
in a giggling, jiggling style.
And so my glass returned again
but… it was not quite the same…
It seemed to be much bigger,
(as I became more sane.)
Not only much, much bigger,
but overfilling… all the time!
No matter how I drank my fill,
still more… poured into mine.
I am always… overflowing!
My overflowing will not keep.
I know not what Eternity may offer,
but I’m filled… with what I’ve found.
