Life in a jar
filling up with years
and experience
draining again with
the cold hand of death
and remaining empty
forever more
Or filling with trouble
and pain from living
overflowing with pressure
that follows events
The jar could fill slowly
one drop at a time
for every tear
that's fallen from
your eyes
during the times that
hurt most
The jar could fill quickly
with all of
the laughter
and smiles you've given
in response to
every joke and story
you've heard or told
Or it sits half filled
waiting for more
to happen
to fill it
and slowly it will
evaporate into
nothing again
filling up with years
