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.
