EMPTY ______  FULL ­­­­______    

Some people seem to have to keep

on telling us about themselves -

what they are doing - what they are

thinking - going on and on and on.

It seems to me they are running

on empty - scared to go face to face

with their emptiness - with themselves -

and God forbid with us out here.

And it seems to me some people have

no walls - no locks - no doors - and they

are all ears - always listening - but they  

never tell us about themselves.

It seems to me they too are running on

empty - scared to face themselves -

what’s within - the missing - the emptiness -

never seeing God and us in their emptiness.
