When you are caught
Swimming in a lake
Between two volcanoes
And you think you see
A dead fish
Remember
It’s just a lily pad
Those volcanoes
Will erupt someday
But you probably won’t
Be around to see them
And if you are
Chances are
You won’t be
In the path of the lava
And the lily pad is
Just that
And that’s how it looks
To see a glass
Half full
