Blissful

Dreams, oh so fragile Like a string caught on fire Only to sever, shrivel, and vanish Right before your eyes You think you've seen the light? All you have seen is stars, glimmering Until they implode Turning to more darkness A pain in my side Takes pain to give life, takes pain to die Nothing can pardon pain Life, is a placebo Savor the pain With rewards comes suffering Enjoy the pain, every ounce Drop by drop Silence is blissful

Is the cup half full or half empty they say- it is all how we view the view or taste the taste- to me life is wonderful but better is coming, all the very best, brenda

Thanks for the comment. The cup question has always perplexed me, I hear it all the time. You never know what is in the glass, nor do we measure the exact amount that is in it. It simply 'looks' half full. Best to take chances, drink, and find out while you can :)
