vessel

I was a glass half full
Sitting quietly, satisfied
Silence was a warm blanket
I needed no more, I was content

Our eyes met, your gaze
Sweeping over me swiftly
You were beautiful, that I knew
But something wasn’t right

Half empty! I cried
I wanted to fix you up
I can help, you see, I’m full
It was arranged, and we met

It was awkward at first, nervous
How would this be done?
Me to you, you to me?
Or both in together?

The latter was agreed

Truth trampled me like a herd
We were both half empty!
Pouring into one another
It was clear, together we fit

Concave met convex,
Rough edges became smooth
Pushes received by pulls
It was bright and glorious

How had I missed this before?
I had been content, just unfulfilled
Now the shade was lifted
Colors flew, sounds danced

I breathe in with you
We exhale together
Every moment is pivotal
Now, it all means more
