A Glass Overflowing


There is light and then shadow, silhouettes of darkness,

For life shares these disasters our minds cannot harness,

I tell you this glass that is told half full,

That it is full indeed with body and soul

For empty space is air that is so alleviating,

But when you ask someone they still see it, deviating,

Only water is considered, yet not the air,

You can only see water, so what, who will care,

But you see we need air, much more than you bother,

So next time you answer say it is overflowing with both of air and of water.
