What seems tentative to me
A single thin thread of hope
May be fortified with unbreakable titanium
It may be just enough
to hold through a lifetime
I only see through a glass dimly
There is so much more
beyond my vision
at work in this universe

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
