Glass Half Empty

Yield not to the theories of optimism and pessimism.
Be on the fulcrum.
If all lakes and rivers shallowed,
We would miss the beauty of raining.
Half filled is a good omen of achievement.
But half empty gives room for progress.
If everything provided,
Next of kin would lose exhilaration in living.
My waves of emotions have touched here one aspect only.
My verse still half-filled and half- empty.
Neither can be filled nor emptied.
It's nature’s phenomenon!
