-- What Things Seem Like --

John Herlihy

 

Things that we found

Seem like things that makes us glad.

Things that we lost

Seem like things that we never had.

Things that we miss

Seem like things that make us lose hope.

Things that we treasure

Seem like things that will give pleasure.

Things that be empty

Remember things that are full.

Things that be full

We keep remembering still.

Things that we hate

Have us run the other way.

Things that we love

Have so much of value to say.

I like the way your logic works in describing something and how it relates. Well done.

A compilation of truisms that we could all use a bit more of. Again paradoxes resound in this piece as well as a subtext that trickles out and becomes essential in making the whole of your message. Good write here, John.
