Hole of a Doughnut

On the hole of the doughnut 
There is emptiness and blank
outside the hole 
a thrill of tastebuds Ferris wheel

topped with chocolate bits
or sprinkled with crunchy nuts
and soft fluffy marshmallows
Of which one lips samples
and sometimes lick
then bit by bit, bites 
swallows whole

the hole of the doughnut waits
For someones' finger
 to do the fill
Or maybe
 give it a little feel
Either roughness 
or softness
or it's bittersweet taste

So thus, 
a person's borrowed life
Isn't it?

Very deep and another one for people to ponder on my friend. I interpret it talking about how one fills the inside of them with God or of the world. You are doing good my friend your soup friend Michael
